Up and Flying

(Gary Burr, Patty Griffin)

Lately I`m alone a lot.

Mostly I guess you`re not.

Forgive me if I stop and stare.

I was just alittle unprepared.

So the world has fallen at your feet.

Yeah you hardly even missed a beat.

Everyday your heart beats a little stronger.

But my nights for me get a little longer.

CHORUS

You`ve gone on a million miles from here.

Swept up like a feather in the air.

Well you make it look so easy.

That doesn`t seem quite fair.

`Cause baby I`m still tryin` to

get myself up and flying.

I should be farther on by now.

I just can`t seem to catch a breeze somehow.

I should be free to leave the ground.

With no dreams left to weigh me down.

Well could you tell me what to do.

I`ve been tryin` to eny the truth.

But here it is now the living proof.

The one I love loves someone new.

Repeat CHORUS

Oh you make it look so easy.

It doesn`t seem quite fair.

`Cause baby I`m still tryin` to get myself.
