Song Description

A near-death experience results in the feeling of flying - and wishing the flying feeling could come back - without the death part of course.

Lyrics

I lay in the grass of a summer sun and I'm burning
And the world's so quiet I swear I can hear it turning
When time stands still and I get my fill of emotion
I leave this world and float up into the sky
I wish my skin didn't drag me down
I'd leave this world and float off into the sky
And leave this world behind
Spread my wings and fly

I felt the push of a schoolgirl's crush and I'm falling
Dropping down to the bottom as they're all calling
I wish my bones didn't weigh me down
I'd leave this world and float off into the sky
And leave this world behind
Spread my wings and fly

I swim in the blue
Cooled by the water in my tubes
Push to the surface
And float above, jealous of the group
Gathered to hold
Arms out, reaching for life
The sun is so bright, I watch the light
Dance before my eyes
I'm drawn to the light
Watch my life
Flash before my eyes

I lay in the grass of a summer sun and I'm burning
And the world's so quiet I swear I can hear it turning
I wish my hands didn't hold me down
I'd leave this world and float off into the sky
Leave this world behind
Spead my wings and fly

I swim in the blue, cooled by the water in my tubes
Drawn to the light, I watch my life flash before my eyes
