Helicopter
Stringmansassy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One lucky day, I suddenly found a way
People, places, inspiration, simple love, I've got a feeling that I might stay
I refine my senses again, my eyes and my ears and my fingers, and my skin

Walking away, got a feeling my towns too small
People, places, inspiration, simple love I find them where I fall
Moving on the back of the wind, riding the plateaus and shadows I don't see
I refine my senses again, my eyes and my ears and my fingers and my skin

The sun upon my face reminds me how I need it
If it wasn't mine I think I'd need to steal it
But nothing ever empties the touch
Now I can see through
These things are just enough

Wide open space, a beautiful place to play
Here I've got the wings to fly and eyes that want to look inside a perfect day
Moving on the back of the wind, riding the plateaus and shadows I don't see
I refine my senses again, my eyes and my ears and my fingers and my skin

The sun upon my face reminds me how I need it
If it wasn't mine I think I'd need to steal it
But nothing ever empties the touch
Now I can see through

I'm here walking around
But I'm not your average window shopper
I'm going high this time around
Flying, see what I found
But I didn't need a helicopter
I 'm going high this time around

Here I am now feeling so far from home
Though you are not here with me and you don't see the things I see
I'm not alone

Moving on the back of the wind riding the plateaus and shadows I don't see
I refine my senses again, my eyes and my ears and my fingers and my skin
