Leave you on a sad note
Guess that means I'm buying lunch that day
I know all your secrets
You know all my deep-dish
Guess that means some things they never, they never
Change
Mean
When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me
My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo
My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you
Yeah, you know who I'm likin'
Way before I liked them, duh
Cause you liked them first
And if somebody hurts you
I'm gonna get hurt too
That's just how we work, yeah, that's just how we work
It will never
Change
We both know what I, what I, what I
Mean
When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me
My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo
My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

The song "Flying Solo" by Julie and the Phantoms Cast is about the importance of friendship and how it can be a source of strength and support. The lyrics describe a deep bond between two people who know each other intimately, both in terms of their personalities and their secrets. The first verse talks about how even if they part on bad terms, they will still stick together and support each other. Despite their differences, they know that some things will never change between them, and they are like looking into a mirror when they see each other.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer's life would be empty without this friendship. They use the phrase "real low, zero" to emphasize how important this other person is to them. Without them, they would be "flying solo," or alone, which would be a terrible feeling. The second verse describes how the two friends always look out for each other, even in matters of the heart. They have a deeper connection than just surface-level likes and dislikes - they are there for each other through thick and thin.
Overall, "Flying Solo" is a heartwarming tribute to the importance of friendship and the power of human connection. It reminds us that we all need someone to lean on and that we are stronger when we have people to share our lives with.
