Air
Alice & the Glass Lake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am so hot hot hot air ballooning right now
You can't see me ‘cause I'm so far out
I can't wait for me to come back down
Things are gonna look so different
Yeah
Take five from the struggle
Look alive
No stunt double

Raise above it, dodge these fluffy clouds
It's a lot more fun than what you're doing now
Hop on the carrousel
Ain't no getting off though
Book of rules, read it well
Full of hard and soft nos
Done with it, when you're done with it, change it up
Gone with the wind ‘cause
I am so hot hot hot air ballooning right now
You can't see me ‘cause I'm so far out
I can't wait for me to come back down
Things are gonna look so different
Hot hot air balloon
You take me to the moon
I do enjoy the view
You teach me something new
I am not afraid, not a single round
I know I'll be safe when we come back down (Down)
Slow it down
Don't need a jet if
You like the sound of a new perspective
I spotted my issues and they're mighty small
I would head first crush ‘m even if I fall
Hop on the carrousel
Ain't no getting off though
Book of rules, read it well
Full of hard and soft nos
Done with it, when you're done with it, change it up
Gone with the wind ‘cause
I am so hot hot hot air ballooning right now
You can't see me ‘cause I'm so far out
I can't wait for me to come back down
Things are gonna look so different
Hot hot air balloon
You take me to the moon
I do enjoy the view
You teach me something new
I am not afraid, not a single round
I know I'll be safe when we come back down (Down)
Hot air balloon
You take me to the moon
I'm enjoying the view
Why would I be afraid?
I am so hot hot hot air ballooning right now
You can't see me ‘cause I'm so far out
I can't wait for me to come back down
Things are gonna look so different
Hot hot air balloon
You take me to the moon
I do enjoy the view
You teach me something new

I am not afraid, not a single round
I know I'll be safe when we come back down
