In-flight

Looking down I see what was
A place I lived, well, just because
I was in it.
For the moment.
But looking up I see what's right
No clouds, no sky, just endless night
And I feel it.
I really feel it.

Everyday I wonder how
Everyday I ask out loud
How did I get where I am?
I know I'll never understand
but I... won't come down again
I won't touch ground, instead
I'll fly above your head

and I won't come down now...
I won't turn back now...
I won't fall down now...
I won't look back now...

I lift my head, but close my eyes
The engine shakes my mind to life
and I want it.
I just absorb it.
Pushing out through pitch black sea
I pause to face reality
but I leave it.
I just don't need it.

Everyday I wonder how
Everyday I ask out loud
How did I get where I am
I know I'll never understand
but I... won't come down again
I won't touch ground, instead
I'll fly above your head

and I won't come down now...
I won't turn back now...
I won't fall down now...
I won't look back now...

Racing past reality
orbiting my fantasy
standing's far too stationary
landing's far too ordinary

so I... won't come down again
I won't touch ground, instead
I'll fly above your head

and I won't come down now...
I won't turn back now...
I won't fall down now...
I won't look back now...
