Holding Pattern
And the leaves begin to blow all around
I watch them scatter, listen to their sound
How long might you stay, do you know?
My heart needs to close before you go
I can feel you float away
Searching for your fate
I am longing for the day
We no longer have to wait
We’re stuck in a holding a pattern
Floating away
Stuck in a holding pattern
Day after day, day after day, day after day
And a symphony of leaves begins to play
Watch them scatter, watch them blow away
How long might you stay, do you know?
My heart needs to close before you go
Before you go, before you go
Hovering floating all around
Can’t seem to keep your feet on ground
Wonder how long you’ll stay around this time
You’re making me nervous with your smile
Your eyes haven’t seen me for a while
My stomach is twisting, I feel terrified
And the leaves begin to blow all around
I watch them scatter, listen to their sound
How long might you stay, do you know?
My heart needs to close before you go
Excuse me please as I pass through
You feel like a stranger I once knew
You’re acting skittish, Feeling so used
You come and you go, I always stay
Enclosed in a beautiful cage
Floating in limbo as you play your games
