[Verse 1]
Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world?
Don't be scared
Well, hey there, little world, are you ready for this girl?
Do you dare?
Only took nine months and a lot of love
Carried all our dreams and she's ready now, ooh
Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world? (Now let's go!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you put the wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge
[Chorus]
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying, I'm flying)
[Verse 2]
Twenty years all alone, bound together to the phone
Was it fate?
Watched you decorating all the walls
Made a prison of our home
No escape
[Pre-Chorus]
When you ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you left your wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge
[Chorus]
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying)
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
The air
[Bridge]
And they will never know
The fear of making a mistake
The risk you take, the pain you create
But mama look at us now
High above the clouds
Yeah, I hope that you're, hope that you're proud
(Air, air, air, air, air, air)
[Chorus]
So catch me in the air (The air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
The air (So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying
(Air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying (The air, yeah)
[Outro]
Save each other in every way, yeah
Feel the fears as we float in the sea, yeah
Look at us now, way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud
Save each other in every way, yeah
Feel the fear as we float in the sea, yeah
Look at us now, way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud

This song I wrote about my mum who’s a single mum, you know how intense that relationship is. They feel like your sister, a brother, or even your child sometimes. I felt throughout my life my mum and I have caught each other when we’re falling. That’s what the songs about.

One of the first in-person sessions I did for this album was with GRACEY in Oscar Scheller’s flat, and we couldn’t come up with anything. I just wasn’t feeling it. Halfway through, GRACEY was like, ‘Oh my god, Gwen Stefani is coming out with new music!’ As a writing exercise, we pretended we were go...
