Up in the Air
Noah Floersch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We drink wine a lot
Our love is off and on an awful lot
We play pretend
Say it's the end
But we can never just be friends again
I know that I'll land, but I don't know where
When I'm up in the air with you
Yeah I'm up in the air with you
Your parents like me
But you try to fight me
Why are we always screwed up so slightly
We're not the same
As yesterday
There's time to laugh and there's a time change
I know that I'll land, but I don't know where
When I'm up in the air with you
Could you hold my hand, cuz the height's got me scared
Yeah I'm up in the air with you
I know that I'll land, but I don't know where
When I'm up in the air with you
Could you hold my hand, cuz the height's got me scared
Yeah I'm up in the air with you
I know that I'll land, but I don't know where
When I'm up in the air with you
Could you hold my hand, cuz the height's got me scared
Yeah I'm up in the air with you
