[Verse 1]
White knuckles on the rail
Wind cuts through my shirt
I watch the fields go small
Like they got lost on purpose
Your name sits on my tongue
Like a match I never struck
I'm still, but something in me
Won't stay shut
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me up
Take me higher
Past the fence
Past the wire
I don't want to touch the ground
When you say my name out loud
[Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
[Verse 2]
Sneakers on the roof
Half a moon above the tanks
I left my fear in the parking lot
With the last two days
Got a one-way grin
And a pocket full of sparks
If I fall, I'll fall
Into your arms
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me up
Take me higher
Past the fence
Past the wire
I don't want to touch the ground
When you say my name out loud
[Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
[Bridge]
Let the sky come close
Let the old fears fade
I was made for this
Little runaway
One more breath
Then the whole world tilts
And I lift, I lift
I lift
[Final Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
White knuckles on the rail
Wind cuts through my shirt
I watch the fields go small
Like they got lost on purpose
Your name sits on my tongue
Like a match I never struck
I'm still, but something in me
Won't stay shut
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me up
Take me higher
Past the fence
Past the wire
I don't want to touch the ground
When you say my name out loud
[Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
[Verse 2]
Sneakers on the roof
Half a moon above the tanks
I left my fear in the parking lot
With the last two days
Got a one-way grin
And a pocket full of sparks
If I fall, I'll fall
Into your arms
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me up
Take me higher
Past the fence
Past the wire
I don't want to touch the ground
When you say my name out loud
[Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
[Bridge]
Let the sky come close
Let the old fears fade
I was made for this
Little runaway
One more breath
Then the whole world tilts
And I lift, I lift
I lift
[Final Chorus]
I'm flying, I'm flying
Hold on, I'm flying
Your voice in my chest
Keeps me flying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Nothing can tie me
When you call, when you call
I'm flying
Musikstil
Indie pop with a pulsing four-on-the-floor kick, bright acoustic strums, and a rubbery synth bass; verse stays lean and close-mic, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and filtered risers, chorus opens wide with gang vocals on the hook. Add handclaps, a reverse swell into each lift, and little bell chimes between phrases. Crisp, shiny mix with an intimate front-row vocal
