Fear Of Flying
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics

I took a picture of a girl I once knew
I captured the image of someone from my past

I kept it here in case I'd run into you
I have kept this photo in case I see you again

The look on your face could light up a room
You had a captivating smile that could brighten anyone's day

But instead, you left
Despite having a positive effect on people, you departed from my life

And now I'm sitting with my head on the dashboard
I am feeling lost and alone

Push the seat back and close my eyes
Trying to calm myself down

I had this dream that I was on an airplane
I once had a nightmare about flying

Afraid to fly
I had developed a fear of flying

So I tipped my head to the side and I whispered
I leaned in and spoke softly to a nearby passenger

To this man that was in the aisle
I addressed a male who was sitting in the aisle seat

I said "do you know how long it takes before we die?"
I asked the man if he knew the duration of life we have left

And then I rolled awake
I woke up suddenly from that dream

Can you take me back to the person I used to be
I want to restore my former self

Back when you were there for me
A time when you were still here for me

I know it seems like forever, but do me this favor please
Although it feels like an eternity, I ask you this one favor

Way back when we were stupid
A time when we had foolish actions

And held grudges just to help us sleep
We used to harbor resentment to help us fall asleep

Oh my god, how ridiculous were we?
Looking back, we acted in a foolish manner

I stop your breathing every time I'm around, girl
My presence has you in deep anticipation

Your body's sweating and your hands start to shake
Your physical reactions show your excitement and nervousness

I know you can't control your eyes
You have a deep attraction to me you can't hide

But I know that your looks are fake
Despite your attempts to appear uninterested, your true feelings show through

So tease me once and I swear I'll forget
Indulging in this feeling will help me forget my past

How it feels when you've got nothing left
I don't want to feel empty anymore

We'll take it slow and only work at it sometimes
Let's proceed cautiously and work on it as time permits

Oh yeah..
I agree with moving slowly

And oh, you left
You still remain absent

Ohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhhhh
A prolonged vocalization showing sadness
