Airplane

You and I've got our backs against the wall
If we stayed down, we wouldn't have thought to fall
But it's no fun relying on defenses
We get our kicks swinging for the fence

And I said
Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight
It's so hard down here to unwind
I ain't lost, but you can't find me
When I said you're strange
It was a compliment, you know

Spend most of my time lost at the races
Now we get by making funny faces
Some people live trying to be forgiven
That might be life, oh but that ain't livin'

I said
Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight
It's so hard down here to unwind
I ain't lost, but you can't find me

Now I see you in the mirror
Certain we would disappear some day
Maybe the wave that brought us here
Will be the same that washes us away
My partner don't know how to stop
I'm trying to lose these thoughts to bring you down
Forget the lessons we were taught
That have tamed us and pinned us to the ground

Ooohh...
You and I've got our backs against the wall
When you don't move, no one throws you the ball
Life's a dance between riding the bench and
Waiting for your chance to swing for the fence

I said
Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight
It's so hard down here to unwind
I ain't lost, come and find me
When I said you're strange
It was a compliment, you know
