Aeroplane
Rico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's such a shame, shame you're wasting away
You can't stop kicking 'til your legs give way
You're mind's tick, ticking and the time's the same
I don't feel safe in an aeroplane

It's such a strange, strange way to behave
I say "see you later" then I give you a wave
I've got no reason why my sky's so blue

Since I've had a piece of you.

Stop asking me how I've been
I'm alright
Don't say you're sorry for anything you feel
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

It's such a shame, shame I'm wasting away
My clothes don't fit me and I hate today
If I don't get bitter I won't get the pain
And I'm so happy I'm still the same
It's such a strange strange way to behave
I say "see you later" then I give you a wave
I've got no reason why my sky's so blue
Since I've had a taste of you

Its alright, it's alright

If I don't get bitter I don't get the pain
If I don't get bitter I don't get the pain
