Up And Flying Lyrics

Patty Griffin 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

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