so catch me if you can

admire my wingspan:
gone before i arrive.
so catch me if you can
but never alive.

this is the ultimate hatching:
breaking the shell.
by the whispers i'm catching
you take it pretty well.

this is the big getaway,
the great escape -
the one you dream of every day,
away from the cityscape.

this is my moment of glory
never anticipated,
the shedding of woe and worry,
all things you-related.

admire my wingspan:
gone before i arrive.
so catch me if you can
but never alive.
