lyrics

If you could fly to heaven’s door would angels make you sigh
The same old heaviness with which you’ve said goodbye?
And if you fall right back down, I might be waiting there
Or finally moved on to find a new affair

So maybe you’re just the kind that doesn’t want to change
After finally workin’ out your detailed plan
You gotta a lot of nerve in leavin’ town, in the moment that you came
To take what’s mine simply because you can

If you could feel the way that I do, it might make you smile
At least you’d be okay with it just for a while
Until the notion passes like a subtle autumn breeze
Harboring the feelings that always seem to seize

So maybe I’m the kind of man who’s got to learn to own
The consequence of reapin’ what he sews
You still gotta a lot of nerve leavin’ town, in the moment that you came
To take what’s mine simply because you can

If you could fly to heaven’s door would angels make you sigh
The same old heaviness with which you’ve said goodbye?
