I feel a little torn
It’s making me forlorn
Keeping my words away from you
In fear I’ve overdrawn

We need our balance and space
That’s something I can’t deny
But I’m struggling with the ratio
When I want you by my side

Maybe I need to spread my wings
Sit in someone’s nest
Give each other the distance we crave
Rest my beak on another chest

But I don’t want to nest hop right now
I am finding it hard to force it
My heart longs for the swallow at sea
And I refuse to cage his movement

50 days is killing me
The countdown even worse
I’m not sure how sustainable
Love is on an empty purse

We have huge priorities
Big dreams to fly the world
Yet here I am pining
Wishing in his wings I was curled

There needs to be a solution
Or this bird will simply perish
Or maybe I’m just too impatient
And this need I must nourish

Maybe I’m just impatient
Bored of counting days
It’s not enough to imagine you
In want you in my face

Bleugh! Distraction! Focus!
Focus feathers focus!
Keep my eyes on my own ball
Remember my own path
Don’t let love throw me off
Else I’ll feel heavens wrath
