Crash Landing
Offset Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were falling from tonight's sky
Trying to block this whole world out,eyelids closing
I've always dreamed of dying in my sleep
Eternities of counting sheep
But I... I know better now
I'm sick of landing on my head (with you)
My heart tonight
The city burns so bright
From this altitude that we cruise
Were weightless
Were fateless or so we thought
Cause what goes up now must come down
Straight Down Down Down
The Flashing Lights
Looking like a runway here tonight
prepare for crash landing
prepare for crash landing
In the cold concrete, in my warm bed
a thousand tons of falling lead
prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
Lets board this flight
I'm sick of life right now
And its time to say goodbye
Where to? Is far too dark to tell
Maybe heaven, Probably hell
There's one thing that i know
And its what goes up now must come down
Straight Down Down Down
The Flashing Lights
Looking like a runway here tonight
Prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
In the cold concrete, in my warm bed
A thousand tons of falling lead
Prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
I can't wake up
I can't wake up
I'm giving up
What goes up now must come down
And what goes up now must
What goes now up must come down
Straight Down Down Down
The Flashing Lights
Looking like a runway here tonight
prepare for crash landing
prepare for crash landing
In the cold concrete, in my warm bed
A thousand tons of falling lead
Prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
Prepare for crash landing

It seems our Time has all run out
We have run out of time
Were falling from tonight's sky
We are falling from the sky tonight
Trying to block this whole world out,eyelids closing
We are trying to ignore the world by closing our eyes
I've always dreamed of dying in my sleep
I used to want to die while sleeping
Eternities of counting sheep
I used to think that death would be like a long sleep
But I... I know better now
But now I know better
The view from here is not worth the fall
The view from here is not worth the risk of falling
I'm sick of landing on my head (with you)
I am tired of failing with you
My heart tonight
My heart is heavy tonight
The city burns so bright
The city is very bright
From this altitude that we cruise
From this height that we are flying
Were weightless
We feel weightless
Were fateless or so we thought
We thought we had no control over our fate
Cause what goes up now must come down
We must eventually fall if we go up
Straight Down Down Down
We are falling straight down
The Flashing Lights
The lights are flashing rapidly
Looking like a runway here tonight
The ground looks like a runway
prepare for crash landing
We need to get ready for a crash landing
In the cold concrete, in my warm bed
I am lying in my warm bed, but the ground will be cold when we crash
a thousand tons of falling lead
It will feel like a heavy weight is falling on us
Lets board this flight
Let's start this journey
I'm sick of life right now
I am tired of life at this moment
And its time to say goodbye
I think it is time to say goodbye
Where to? Is far too dark to tell
I do not know where we will go
Maybe heaven, Probably hell
We might end up in heaven, but more likely in hell
There's one thing that i know
There is one thing that I am sure about
And its what goes up now must come down
We must eventually fall if we fly
I can't wake up
I cannot awaken
I'm giving up
I am giving up
And what goes up now must
Whatever goes up must
Prepare for crash landing
Get ready for a crash landing
Prepare for crash landing
Get ready for a crash landing
