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
