Fly To New York
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been in my dreams
Right there in the seams
In the nooks, in the fabric
And where the day leaves

There's so much I'd like
To share with you
Share my arms
Share my time
Share almost anything that's mine
Except my fear of losing you
Ooh

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's
Most delicate lace

Lay down into
Among crystals of snow
But this is real life
Don't you know?

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's
Most delicate lace

Lay down into
Among crystals of snow
But this is real life
Don't you know?

You're part of me now
Known me somehow
Since birth
Since I fell down
Since you gave me my crown

It's too much to bear
Too much love there
Full of wonder
I will be free again, see almost all of me
But not my fear of losing you, oh

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's
Most delicate lace

Lay down into
Among crystals of snow
But this is real life
Don't you know?

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's
Most delicate lace

Lay down into
Among crystals of snow




But this is real life
Don't you know?

You've been in my dreams
I've been dreaming of you


Right there in the seams
You are a part of me


In the nooks, in the fabric
Every fiber of my being


And where the day leaves
At the end of each day


There's so much I'd like
I have a lot to share


To share with you
I want to share everything with you


Share my arms
I want to hold you


Share my time
I want to spend time with you


Share almost anything that's mine
I want to share my life with you


Except my fear of losing you
I'm afraid of losing you


Ooh
Expressing emotion


We could fly to New York
Let's take a trip to New York


I could show you that place
I want to share this experience with you


Cut shapes from the winter's
Create beautiful things


Most delicate lace
Out of something fragile and beautiful


Lay down into
Immerse ourselves in


Among crystals of snow
In a serene winter landscape


But this is real life
We can't forget about reality


Don't you know?
Are you aware?


You're part of me now
You are a significant part of my life


Known me somehow
You understand me like no one else


Since birth
Since I was born


Since I fell down
Since I faced a difficult time


Since you gave me my crown
Since you made me feel special


It's too much to bear
It's overwhelming


Too much love there
So much love between us


Full of wonder
Filled with amazement


I will be free again, see almost all of me
I will be myself again, without fear or anxiety


But not my fear of losing you, oh
I will always be afraid of losing you

You've been in my dreams
Right there in the seams
In the notes, in the fabric
In the way the day leans

There's so much I'd like to share with you
Share my arms
Share my time
Share almost anything that's mine
Except my fear of losing you

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's most delicate lace
Lay down in Superman crystals of snow
But this is real life, don't you know

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's most delicate lace
Lay down in Superman crystals of snow
But this is real life, don't you know

You're part of me now
Known me somehow
Since birth
Since I fell down
Since you gave me my crown

It's too much to bear
Too much love there
Full of wonder
I will be free
You can see almost all of me
But not my fear of losing you

Oooh

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's most delicate lace
Lay down in Superman crystals of snow
But this is real life, don't you know

We could fly to New York
I could show you that place
Cut shapes from the winter's most delicate lace
Lay down in Superman crystals of snow
But this is real life, don't you know?
