[Verse 1] You and I've got our backs against the wall If we stayed down, we wouldn't have far to fall But it's no fun relying on defenses We get our kicks swinging for the fence [Chorus] And I said Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight It's so hard down here to unwind I ain't lost, but you can't find me When I said you're strange It was a compliment, you know
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2] Spend most of my time lost at the races Now we get by making funny faces Some people live trying to be forgiven That might be life, oh but that ain't livin'
[Chorus] I said Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight It's so hard down here to unwind I ain't lost, but you can't find me
[Instrumental]
[Bridge] Now I see you in the mirror Certain we would disappear some day Maybe the wave that brought us here Will be the same that washes us away My partner don't know how to stop I'm trying to lose these thoughts to bring you down Forget the lessons we were taught That have tamed us and pinned us to the ground
[Instrumental] Ooohh...(3x)
[Verse 3] You and I've got our backs against the wall When you don't move, no one throws you the ball Life's a dance between riding the bench and Waiting for your chance to swing for the fence
[Chorus/Outro] I said Yes, I wanna fly my airplane tonight It's so hard down here to unwind I ain't lost, come and find me When I said you're strange It was a compliment, you know
