Takings and Leavings

Let’s just take a moment
Take stock of where we stand.
I could take you all the way
If you’d just take my hand.

I can take direction
When your writing’s on the wall
I will always take your side
But I won’t take the fall.

When you leave me, you still take me by surprise.
When you take off, you leave me holding just tears and lies.
When you take flight, I’m left lying on the ground
But when you leave me, I won’t take it lying down.

Leave us an escape route
Leave yourself some breathing space
Leave a trail of breadcrumbs
If you must leave this place.

Leave off from your crying
Leave your sorrow far behind
Leave the past in the past
Let the ghosts leave your mind.

When you leave me, you still take me by surprise.
When you take off, you leave me holding just tears and lies.
When you take flight, I’m left lying on the ground
But when you leave me, I won’t take it lying down.
