Lyrics

That boy is baggage, draggin' you down
Shoulda left him in the lost and found
Solo so long, you're lonely now
You're jonesing for a piece of open sky
A little bit of runway shy
It's high time you kissed gravity goodbye
By the seat of your blue jeans
On the wings of a big dream
Leavin' them smoke rings and the clouds behind
Your co-pilot is your heart of gold
Watch the world disappear below
Come on baby, don't you know?
That's the only way to fly
A leap a faith and gonna launch yourself
Pick a star right off the shelf
You'll be over the moon by sunrise
A tailwind and a little grace
Will get you all the way to outer space
So mission control it's T-minus ten, nine, eight
By the seat of your blue jeans
On the wings of a big dream
Leavin' them smoke rings and the clouds behind
Your co-pilot is your heart of gold
Watch the world disappear below
Come on baby, don't you know?
Oh, that's the only way to fly
By the seat of your blue jeans
On the wings of a big dream
Leavin' them smoke rings and the clouds behind
Your co-pilot is your heart of gold
Watch the world disappear below
Come on baby, don't you know?
Yeah, that's the only way to fly
Yeah, that's the only way to fly, fly, fly, yeah
