| 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. |
