Helicopters

Maple seeds, as light as feathers
Watch them spin and twirl and fall
Jumping off by the hundreds
But you'll never catch them all

'Cause you know them things will never keep
If you try to make them stay
So you've got to let the east wind carry them away
But if they sink into the ground
Then we'll be resting in their shade
Someday

Since the last time I saw you
I just can't seem to let it be
I'm a helicopter parent
Of my own memories

'Cause you know them things will never keep
If you try to make them stay
So you've got to let the east wind carry them away
But if they sink into the ground
Then we'll be resting in their shade
Someday

In the dead of the winter
I found something so sweet
The xylem still held the secret
After losing all those leaves

'Cause you know them things will never keep
If you try to make them stay
So you've got to let the east wind carry them away
But if they sink into the ground
Then we'll be resting in their shade
Someday
