Deb Talan - Thinking Amelia lyrics

rate me

Turning like a leaf in changing weather

Feathering down to the earth

Like a moonbeam come untethered

Chalk it up to bad timing, bad signing

Maps are misleading, are to be mistrusted

Are no two paths alike

I think Amelia had it okay

She had a one in a million bad day

With her eyes in the clouds

The clouds in her eyes in a big, wide sky

Expecting to fly

Doesn't sound so bad to me

Expecting to fly

Doesn't sound so bad to me, so bad to me

Here on the ground in a big, busy town

Where there's more air above us

And the schoolboy alone greets

Every person he sees riding the public bus

Pretends the driver is his father

Strange how a city

Can make blood seem like strangers

Strangers like family

I think Amelia had it okay

She had a one in a million bad day

With her eyes in the clouds

The clouds in her eyes in a big, wide sky

Expecting to fly

Doesn't sound so bad to me

Expecting to fly

Doesn't sound so bad to me, so bad to me

So bad to me, so bad to me
