Don't just go from one nest to the next
mama said to me
it's not where you go or where you left.
it's the flying in-between.
she said be sure to touch the sky
don't put your dreams up on a shelf
right now you're lost inside his eyes
i made the same myself. oooh.
Am i in love?
am i too young?
i know my life has just begun.
does he set me free?
or put me in chains?
when did my life get rearranged.
do i hold on? do i let go?
i know i can't escape tomorrow.
do i live for him? or live for today?
suddenly the sky looks far away.
I can see the wheels turn in his mind.
the way he looks at me.
he says our kids will have my eyes.
and what a mother i would be.
does this all have to move so fast.
can't i just take it day by day?
am i building something that will last?
or am i just running away?
Do i wanna go from being
somebody's daughter to
somebody's wife to
somebody's mother
i need my own life.
I though my mother's life turned out as planned
but i never knew.
now that i'm grown i understand.
all the things she longed to do.
i've got to make it on my own.
but i just can't leave him behind.
so do i risk being alone
what is it i'm trying to find?
Am i in love? am i too young?
i know my life has just begun.
does he set me free, or put me in chains?
when did my life get rearranged?
do i hold on, do i let go?
i know i can't escape tomorrow
can i live for him and live for today?
suddenly the sky looks far away (far away)
suddenly the sky looks far away.
far away.
