Two images. One doubt. A bird beside an open door. Two hands that found each other… then one pulled away. Maybe leaving was loving. Maybe loving was staying. Maybe leaving was… staying. ***************************************************** [Verse 1 — Bird] Someone had opened the cage before the break of day. By morning, the bird was sleeping beside the open door. [Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying. [Verse 2 — Hands] Their hands had found each other in the middle of the table. One slowly pulled away. The other waited for it. [Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying. [Instrumental Bridge — expressive melodic guitar and cello, human-like phrasing, pauses, unresolved] [Final Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying.
