Walking on Air
Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air
Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air

You're giving me sweet, sweet ecstasy
Yeah, you take me to utopia
You're reading me like erotica,
Boy, you make me feel exotic, yeah
Just when I think I can't take anymore
We go deeper and harder than ever before
We go higher and higher
I feel like I'm already there

I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air

This is pure paradise,
Even heaven is jealous of our love
Yes, we make angels cry,
Raining down on earth from up above

Just when I think I can't take anymore
We go deeper and harder than ever before
We go higher and higher
I feel like I'm already there

I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking on air (tonight)
I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air
Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air

Heaven is jealous of our love
Angels are crying from up above

Tonight (tonight), I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking on air
Tonight (tonight), I'm walking on air
Tonight (tonight), I'm walking on air
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking on air
Tonight (tonight), I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air




Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air
I'm walking on air

Katy could actually have another Teenage Dream size era.. I can't still get over it
She can have 4 no 1 easily like this

1st Single : Roar
Queen of The Jungle

2nd Single : Legendary Lovers
Indian theme
Indian Princess
She can promote this song through AMAs too

3rd Single : Dark Horse(ft. Juicy J)
Aphrodite or witch version

4th single : Walking On Air (mid 2015)
90s theme
And could have featured multiple celebrities as well

Last single : Unconditionally
As a thanksgiving to her humble fans
