Casting Shadows

Casting shadows on walls that I once
Hoped to call home
And girls didn't mean
Quite the same thing to me
No no no no, no no I'm not ready to be
Your weaker half, solid ground for me

Ties to father's son, they don't last
Ties to New Years', hopeful for a cast
Deception found my pact
It tore and pulled and gave away
I was convinced I'd be okay

'Til now I would have thought I was on my own
'Til fate gave me two girls I was on my own
All alone, you were not near
All a-

Oh, oh I didn't expect, to feel the fear I felt
I stood on a chair, and yelled it out
I flew in the planes that I know flew you well away
I found new peace atop their wings

The paternal fairs, they hold speed
Not quick to what they need
I was enamored beyond belief
I fell in love with their tiny feat
And now I'm almost complete

'Til now I would have thought I was on my own
'Til fate gave me two girls I was on my own
All alone, you were not near
All a-
