flying is easy,
easy
i
think
minus crash landings that leave you to sink
but i was always able to fly
flying is easier than waving goodbye
they sang in choruses witty and bright
like airplanes across the ocean they flew
darling did you tell them?
darling don’t you see?
i’m a ship stranded at sea.
there’s no body to come rescue me
you were always too scared to fly
too well practiced at goodbyes.
so i’ll drown in this ocean
while you sit on the shore
always wishing we were something more.
