You Flew

I was a building, you were a bird
I was rooted and hoped you were
I wanted steady, I wanted you
But I loved deeper than you asked me to

So you flew
And I chased until my feet turned blue
But what is love if you have to beg for it?
Nearly killed me just waiting for it
So I watched as you flew

I was an ocean that you sank below
I rolled like thunder and you ran for home
I could see you, the parts you hid
I gave everything when you wanted a little bit

So you flew
And I chased until my feet turned blue
But what is love if you have to beg for it?
Nearly killed me just hoping for it
So I watched as you flew
