Decisions

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.
