Hover in the air tonight
All of these things are at the forefront of the singer's mind, hovering emotionally like the plane,

If I can only keep on moving
If the person can keep travelling without stopping to think or reflect,

And never stop and think of me
If the person can avoid thinking about the past or people they have left behind,

And free fall through the years and decades
