[Verse 1: Mica Tenenbaum]
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
[Chorus: Mica Tenenbaum]
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again
[Verse 2: Mica Tenenbaum]
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
[Chorus: Mica Tenenbaum]
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again
[Bridge: Mica Tenenbaum]
(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
(Oh no, I won't go) (I don't wanna sound stupid) You know, I'm fine alone
(Oh no, I won't go) (But I'm feeling alright!) You know I'm taking off on my own, oh
(Oh no, I won't go) (I guess I've never been an optimist before)
(Oh no, I won't go) And when I feel the wind, I won't look back no more
[Chorus: Mica Tenenbaum]
Oh no, you're living in the fast lane
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again
Oh no, you're bending over backwards
Hold on, your life's taking off but your heart breaks (Heart breaks)
I know you'll catch your airplane (Airplane)
Again and again

I (Mica) think writing lyrics can be such a conceptual process that having something visual, to anchor to, is always a good idea. “Airplane” especially was a stream of consciousness. I (Matt) made the beat for it on an airplane, and then sent it to Mica when she was going through a crisis – Yeah, I...
