You and I've got our backs against the wall
If we stay down, we won't have far to fall
But it's no fun relying on defenses
We get our kicks swinging for the fence
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
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'
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
And though I see you in the mirror
I'm certain we will disappear some day
Maybe the wave that brought us here
Will be the same that washes us away
The pilot don't know how to stop
Trying to lose these thoughts that bring me down
Forget the lessons we were taught
That have tamed us and pinned us to the ground
La-ooooooo oooo oooo
You and I have got our backs against the wall
We don't move, no one throws you the ball
Life a dance between riding the bench
And waiting for your chance to swing for the fence
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
