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.
