        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

        You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
        Baby I'm still trying
        To get myself up and flying
