[Verse 1]
Every day that I walk down the street
I can feel the heat of the eyes all over me, yeah
As I perspire, I get the desire to just walk all of the way there
Walking on air
[Chorus]
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
I don't see why I have to take it
Just because I'm not about to start a fight
Walking on air
Walking on air
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
[Verse 2]
Every time that I look at the screen I see something obscene in a way that startles me, yeah
And as I require that morbid desire I'm seeing something that's not there
Walking on air
[Chorus]
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
Walking on air
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
Walking on air, ooh
I don't see why I have to take it
Just because I'm not about to start a fight
Walking on air
Walking on air
What's it gonna do to take it?
What's it gonna take to make you do it right?
Walking on air
Walking on air, ooh
[Outro]
Walking on air
Walking on air

A June 2020 Around the Sound article quotes GUM saying:
This song is trying to capture the feeling of walking around my rural town with my Discman as a teenager, completely self-conscious about the way I look but completely feeling myself at the same time.
