Up and Flying

Mostly I'm alone a lot
Mostly I guess you're not
Forgive me if I stop and stare
I was just unprepared
That the world has fallen at your feet
You hardly even missed a beat
And every day those wings beat a little stronger
And every night for me just gets a little longer

You've gone on a million miles from here
Swept up like a feather in the air
You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
Baby I'm still trying
To get myself up and flying

I should be farther along by now
I just can't catch a breeze somehow
I should be free to leave the ground
No dreams left to weigh me down
Could you tell me what I have to do
I've been trying to deny the truth
But here it is, living proof
The one that I love loves someone new

You've gone on a million miles from here
Swept up like a feather in the air
You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
Baby I'm still trying
To get myself up and flying
