scary sky

I saw the wheat bent over
And I was afraid for no reason at all
The wind can't move my weight
I'm safe
Mmm

The rationale's not working for me
These normal things get scary without you
Like the movies you'd never see
Squeezing me, peeking out at the TV

And I'm young right now
Won't put my feet up
I miss my home
For a chance I dreamed of
The darkest moments
The silly horsing around
But the sound of my FaceTime
Doesn't wake you up
At half past midnight
I leave my room
To get air, I go outside
I started walking
But I'm freaked out by the clouds
That I'd hardly have noticed with you

Only a month
Then I'm on a plane home
But you still have work
We strike a balance that's painful
I won't ask for more of your time
You'd give it up
And you always respect mine

So my ambition's second to you
If what matters takes our time
Are our priorities screwed
We just cycle through stages of life
Do horizons arrive
Or will the goal posts always constantly move

'Cuz while I may be young right now
Won't put my feet up
I miss my home
For a chance I dreamed of
The darkest moments
The silly horsing around
I stay grounded because
I know you'd leave it for me
Like I would leave it for you
Don't want to get to that place
Where I become what I do
You're the context of me
And cherrypick who I am when you're gone
Social chameleon tending to headstrong

I watched the storm roll over
And I was afraid for no reason at all
Where my loyalty is placed
I'm safe
Mmm
