Maple Hill - From Cradle to Grave lyrics

It's no surprise she wants to fly, but even if he tried it now, he couldn't face the sky. And while she's on a whole new plane, he's still waiting there at baggage claim, all while his past circles 'round and 'round. It's fight or flight (can't hold on forever), but his wings are tied (can't share emotions held inside). He bides his time as she starts to take off, but he stays there on the ground. We're all searching for a way to change what we have, so it's more like the past. And we're all lost, 'cause what we have isn't what we crave. It's in our nature from cradle to grave. She sees through the way that he's in his mind, questioning why he's better off. So why can't he stop? Just goes to show that we're creatures of habit, and we stick to what we know
