Flying overhead, you take control
You're dreaming in silver and gold
And in my head, the turbulence grows
I'm fighting it, I'm taking it slow
I'm breathing, I'm feeding my soul
And overhead, our distance it grows
I watch you go
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again)
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again)
Your frantic life, it gets me
It gets in under my skin
Like a cannonball, I'm fighting the flow
I've learned to follow in your strides
A little longer and I'll fit, I'll fit better in your lines
And when I fill 'em in
I'll feel it overflow
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again)
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again) And again and again
(Oh no, I won't go) I've got this feeling
(Oh no, I won't go) Then again I'm dreaming
(Oh no, I won't go) You know I'm looking for something
(Oh no, I won't go) You know I'm on my own
(I don't wanna sound stupid) You know I'm fine alone
(But I'm feeling alright!) You know I'm taking off on my own, oh
(I guess I've never been an optimist before) And when I feel the wind
I won't look back no more
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again)
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks
I know you'll catch your airplane
(Again and again)
