Taking Flight
Taking Flight: Embracing Growth and Change
Lyrics
We were just driving
We were engaged in a journey
In a little old town
In a quaint, small town
I'd rather have you in a white coat, baby
I'd prefer to see you in a doctor's white coat rather than a wedding gown
Than have you in a gown
Expressing a preference for a professional path over a traditional marital one
To see you at your best
Observing you at your best moments
Well it feels like flying
It feels uplifting or exhilarating
Maybe I'll get some rest
Possibly finding solace or peace now that you're doing well
Now that you're thriving
Reflecting on your thriving state
The universe,
Referring to the vastness of existence
Can give you what you're worth
Suggesting that the universe can reward you according to your value
If you just invest
Encouraging investment in oneself for future returns
I can close my little eyes and be grateful that I was there
Expressing gratitude for being part of a significant moment
On the day, that you, took flight
Recalling the day when someone took flight, possibly metaphorical or literal
And as for you, my dear
Addressing a loved one and questioning the passage of time
How have the years gone by?
Wondering about the elapsed years
You're right in front of me fading
Noting the proximity of someone fading away
Wonderin' what could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and possibilities
To see you at your worst
Witnessing someone at their lowest moments
Well it feels like dying
Describing a feeling of despair or deterioration
Maybe I'll get some rest
Suggesting the possibility of finding peace or rest through acknowledgment
If I saw you were trying
If it's evident that you're making an effort
The universe,
Referencing the vastness of the universe again
Can give you so much worse
Indicating that unfavorable outcomes may result if one doesn't make an effort
If you don't invest
Encouraging investment for positive outcomes
Well a small part of me is still foolishly hangin' on
Admitting to holding onto a small hope despite challenges
For the day, that you, take flight
Anticipating the day when someone takes flight, possibly with a tinge of reluctance
