Waiting To Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take a look at Manhattan Sitting right where I left her I remember the pulse I remember the pace I remember the sound And when I look at that skyline It used to seem so much bigger Like I could reach out and touch her Like I could look her in the eye [Pre-Chorus] So what do you do When the world you knew is very far away Never sure if you're okay [Chorus] I never wanted to fly I took a leap cause I was sure I was running out of ground Oh I, I'm looking down at the skyscrapers And I'm screaming out but no one hears a sound And I know that contemplating jumping is something you might understand Well same goes for me Cause I took that leap In a matter of speaking I'm just waiting to land [Verse 2] It's a cute kind of torment One you never get used to Staring out through a window A whole life on an island Floating further away But this is not a vacation No one's getting a postcard No, in fact, no one has their ticket for the flight back home [Pre-Chorus] And sometimes the days are good You're living And you're thrilled you're finally doing it Then you think of ways to ruin it [Chorus] I never wanted to fly I took a leap cause I was sure I was running out of ground Oh I, I'm looking down at the skyscrapers And I'm screaming out but no one hears a sound And I know that thinking of the plunge is something you think you understand Well same goes for me, kid In a matter of speaking And I'm just waiting to land Oh, oh [Outro] I, I never wanted to fly I took a leap cause I was sure I was running out of ground
