Waiting To Land

[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
