This song is about someone who is contemplating suicide because a former lover had killed herself. It deals with themes of loneliness and depression.
[Verse 1]
The day I learn to fly
I'm never coming down
On perfect wings I'll rise
Through the layers of the clouds
[Chorus]
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six billion people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
[Verse 2]
I see myself inside you
You dream the dreams that I do
You're still searching for these answers
They're not inside your wrist
[Chorus]
And from here I see the neon grids of cities
And six billion people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
[Outro]
And I close my eyes as the curtains draw
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong
Cause you're not there anymore
No, you're not there anymore
And so I lift my chin and the show goes on
The sky is listening, the stars all sing along
But you're not there anymore
And I just can't care anymore
