Up and flying, up and flying
Oh, you make it look so easy
I should be free to leave the ground
Swept up like a feather in the air
I just can't seem to catch a breeze somehow
Forgive me if I stop and stare
Well, could you tell me what I have to do
I was just a little unprepared
Yeah, you hardly even missed a beat
With no dreams left to weigh me down
'Cause baby I'm still tryin'
The one I love loves someone new
I should be farther on by now
But here it is now, the living proof
Everyday your heart beats a little stronger
'Cause baby I'm still tryin'
To get myself up and flying
Well, you make it look so easy
It doesn't seem quite fair
But my nights for me get a little longer
So the world has fallen at your feet
I've been tryin' to deny the truth, well ya
You've gone on a million miles from here
Oh, you make it look so easy
To get myself up and flying
'Cause baby I'm still tryin'
You've gone on a million miles from here
Swept up like a feather in the air
To get myself up and flying
That doesn't seem quite fair
That doesn't seem quite fair
