Expecting to Fly
Reflections of Love's Departure
Lyrics
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Standing on the edge of uncertainty or fragility
Expecting to fly
Anticipating a departure or transition
While I laughed, I wondered whether
Reflecting on the situation while expressing amusement
I should wave bye
Contemplating whether to say goodbye
Knowing that you've gone
Acknowledging the departure of the person
By the summer it was healing
Recovery or healing process during the summer
We had said goodbye
The act of bidding farewell has occurred
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Recalling past years filled with emotions
Ended with a cry
Emotional closure marked by a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
Reiteration of the emotional closure
Babe, ended with a cry
-I tried so hard to stand
Struggling to maintain composure or stability
But I stumbled and fell to the ground
Falling down despite efforts to stand
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
Difficulty in finding humor amidst challenges
And reached for the love I found
Attempting to grasp the love that was present
Knowing it had gone
Acknowledging the loss of that love
If I ever lived without you
Contemplating a life without the person
Now you know that I'd die
Expressing a willingness to endure extreme emotions
If I ever said I loved you
Committing to expressing love
Now you know that I'd try
Emphasizing the effort to love
Babe, now you know I'd try
Repetition of the commitment to trying to love
Babe, now you know I'd try
-Babe, now you know I'd try
-Babe, now you know I'd try
Reiterating the commitment to making an effort in love
