Separation Anxiety
Music and Lyrics by Mike Maimone
(c) 2012
I climbed out to see
on my sycamore tree
now I sit alone and sway
on a hot, sticky day
I’d be excited to say
that I feel a breeze comin’ my way
But despite the heat
I’m frozen out on my seat
while the branches bend down like a whim
As I look at the ground
it’s so far from me now –
but real soon it’ll be on my chin!
I got my candy apple and my Separation Anxiety
I’m gonna drive West ’til I leave all the stress behind me
I got my candy apple and my Separation Anxiety
I’m gonna drive West ’til there’s nobody left who can find me
I look back at the trunk
and who would’ve thunk?
but you were sittin’ there smilin’ at me
’cause it was you to begin
who got me out on this limb
tellin’ me of some sweet, sweet fruit
well I wouldn’t have bet
no I never would’ve guessed
when we were holding hands in safety
It’s a shame I’ve been duped
by the promise of fruit
and now I’ve lost hold of the truth!
