Palm Trees

Hold on, let me tell you something you should know Before you leave and settle somewhere palm trees never grow I watched you fly and touch a cloud with only broken wings Making me believe that I can stand without my strings For once I was able to say I'm not alone For the words from your lips has always seemed to take me home But as time died just to let these scars fade It eventually brought us both to the last page So go ahead and leave, I'm sure I'll survive But I cannot promise that I will ever feel fine So won't you come and dance with me for one last time? Cause the next time that I see you will only be inside my mind And no matter the weather I'll pick up the feathers To write you the letters to make you feel better today So tell me, do you think I look fine? Because I'm trying to impress someone tonight You already know, so watch as I go on my way I used to be on top, though I never tried to boast Standing on a mountain top that's taller than most Now I'm dressing like a stranger, nothing but a ghost Living in the memory of someone I used to know But the river always flows I can't change the direction the wind decides to blow I can only hope this raft will carry me afloat Down the watery path that never seems to slow And that's how it ends Never again will there be a letter I will send I'm tired of waiting, I cannot pretend That there was a chance we'd be more than just friends And no matter the weather I'll pick up the feathers To write you the letters to make you feel better today So tell me, do you think I look fine? Because I'm trying to impress someone tonight You already know, so watch as I go on my way It was a beautiful gift A beautiful gift It was a beautiful gift to me It was a beautiful gift A beautiful gift It was a beautiful gift to me It makes me feel all right Makes me feel all right Makes me feel all right Makes me feel all right
