Because You Can
Navigating the Complex Dance of Goodbyes and Choices
Lyrics
If you could fly to heaven’s door would angels make you sigh
If you had the ability to reach heaven, would encountering angels evoke a sigh?
The same old heaviness with which you’ve said goodbye?
Is the weight of farewell similar to the previous times you've said goodbye?
And if you fall right back down, I might be waiting there
If you fall again, there's a possibility of me being there for you.
Or finally moved on to find a new affair
Alternatively, I might have moved on to explore new relationships.
So maybe you’re just the kind that doesn’t want to change
Perhaps you are resistant to change.
After finally workin’ out your detailed plan
After meticulously planning, you exhibit boldness in leaving town.
You gotta a lot of nerve in leavin’ town, in the moment that you came
Your departure coincided with your arrival, displaying audacity.
To take what’s mine simply because you can
You took what belongs to me, simply because you had the capability to do so.
If you could feel the way that I do, it might make you smile
If you could experience my emotions, it might bring a smile to your face.
At least you’d be okay with it just for a while
At least, you would accept the situation for a temporary period.
Until the notion passes like a subtle autumn breeze
Emotions fade away like a gentle autumn breeze.
Harboring the feelings that always seem to seize
Retaining emotions that tend to grip the heart.
So maybe I’m the kind of man who’s got to learn to own
Perhaps I need to learn to accept the consequences of my actions.
The consequence of reapin’ what he sews
Facing the results of what I have sown.
You still gotta a lot of nerve leavin’ town, in the moment that you came
Despite your audacious departure, similar to your arrival.
To take what’s mine simply because you can
You took what rightfully belongs to me because you could.
If you could fly to heaven’s door would angels make you sigh
Repeating the hypothetical scenario of reaching heaven and facing the heaviness of goodbyes.
The same old heaviness with which you’ve said goodbye?
Reflecting on the weight of farewell similar to past experiences.
