Airplane - Langhorne Slim | The Law, Langhorne Slim, The Law

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

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

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

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

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
