IN FLIGHT
BY MIRA WILDER

You're always in flight
no one can catch you,
caught up in the sound of your own voice...
you swoop down on me,
thought I would nest you...
with cellular promises
that you would be true...

Mind on horizon
head in the clouds
we sang "Willin"
with tears in our eyes
future probability's,
sure looked good
but whenever the phone rang
it broke the mood...

chorus;

can you put down the phone
who you talkin too?

blablabla yak yak yak
no matter what i say
you make no eye contact
blablabla yakyakyak
 lookin
at the screen
for that last text

takin a selfie
eyes wide shut
flyin with you
always in a rut
I never knew
what
you'd do next
we had a bad connection
so you wreck the nest...

blablabla yakyakyak
no matter what I say
no eye contact
blablabla yakyak yak
lookin at the screen for that last text

I thought you were my pilot
but you flew the coop,
Soon as I said
yes I do
you grabbed your phone
away you flew
fly on fly on
