fly above the trees

i don’t know if we
could fly above the trees
someplace far away
never to be found

i wonder if you realise when
it slipped out of our hands
it seems as if little has changed
yet you woke up one day somebody new

believe what you need to believe
everybody lies to themselves
can’t get back to the things
that you knew so well

i don’t want to tell you
what you are to dream
you look so happy so peaceful
so beautiful in your sleep

i don’t want you to wake up
i don’t want you to see
i don’t want you to cry

don’t let them tell you
you can’t get away from it
fly away
high above the trees

and i don’t know why you are so scared
and i don’t know why you pretend that you love it
and i don’t know what you believe to be dreaming
if you don’t spread your wings you won’t get away

i’ve been trying i’ve been trying to help you
i’ve been trying i’ve been trying to guide you
i’ve been trying i’ve been trying to lead you away
i’ve been trying i’ve been trying to love you
