She hadn’t thought she’d ever find a way home. It was all too easy to believe that she’d never have to choose between them, and the life she’d left. There was a choice that had to be made. What was the right thing? When did you give up trying to discern the difference between right in the face of what you knew, and right in the face of what you wanted? What you loved?
It was a freak twist of whatever fate existed that had brought her here, to them, to this life that she never should have known. There was something funny about it, she thought, when she’d remember how she’d stare at the sky and wonder if there was anything better out there. If she’d ever find it.
There was. She had. And she didn’t belong there. It wasn’t for her. She was stealing time and happiness that wasn’t supposed to be hers. But it was.
It was.
The thought of losing that tore at her, made her ask for more time when they finally found her way back. She wasn’t ready to give it all up. Faith just had to ask herself how much time would be enough. How much could she steal, and was it really going to make it easier? The answer was no. It was always going to be no. She wasn’t meant to have this, hoped like hell they’d find some way to erase whatever memories she had when they put her back because she didn’t think she could handle keeping that happiness knowing she’d never have it again.
Setting yourself up for a fall was so much harder than falling unexpectedly.
I don’t know where I’m at
I’m standing at the back
And I’m tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that I’ll find what I’ve been chasing.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it’s coming down, down, down.
Not ready to let go
Cause then I'd never know
What I could be missing
But I’m missing way too much
So when do I give up what I’ve been wishing for.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it’s coming down, down, down.
Oh I am going down, down, down
Can’t find another way around
And I don’t want to hear the sound, of losing what I never found.
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I’m gonna to fall down
