She took me on a walk and she tasted sweet
She said you are the boy that I knew I'd meet
I said hold on, sugarplum, take it slow
'Cause I don’t know when I'm gonna have to go
You can find me up in the air tonight
Holdin' fast I'm trying
When I'm not overcome with fright
I look around, and I'm flyin'
They say come in boy and play us a tune
'Cause yours is the sound that will fill the room
We can’t pay you any money but you sure sound sweet
I say that’s ok I don’t have to eat
You can find me up in the air tonight
Holdin' fast I'm trying
When I'm not overcome with fright
I look around, and I'm flyin'
And I hope someday I can simply learn
To love the air inside my lungs
But then again ain’t hope the word
On just about all of our tongues
Our tongues
I’ll rock in the cradle of the stars tonight
I’m done with the mess and the constant fight
Dream of a place that I ain’t never been
Wake up in the morning to fight again
You can find me up in the air tonight
Holdin' fast I'm trying
Movin' on at the speed of light
Sometimes it feel like dyin'
But every once in a while
You may see me smile
When I look around, and I'm flyin'
