Airborne

And I was watching you from the observation deck

Until your plane became a shiny speck

And if I wanted to sentimentalise

I'd say the planes drew kisses across the sky

So now, you're airborne

But I could have sworn

That you'd be here forever

That wasn't so clever

The vapour trail's dissipating fast

I guess some things aren't made to last

And I might be feeling quite morose

But now I'm wondering if we ever got close

Your plane keeps shrinking

I stand here thinking

Just how did I get this far

Without guessing what you are?

You just packed up all your stuff

And said that you'd had enough

But, really, you just flew away the moment things here got tough

And all the problems we had

Didn't really make you that sad

You just never worked out how to take the good with the bad
