Take a look at manhattan
Sitting right where i left her
I remember the pulse
I remember the pace
I remember the sound
And when i look at that skyline
It used to seem so much bigger
Like i could reach out and touch her
Like i could look her in the eye
So what do you do
When the world you knew is very far away
Never sure if you’re okay
I never wanted to fly
I took a leap cause i was sure i was running out of ground
Oh i, i’m looking down at the skyscrapers
And i’m screaming out but no one hears a sound
And i know that contemplating jumping is something you might understand
Well same goes for me
Cause i took that leap
In a matter of speaking
I’m just waiting to land
It’s a cute kind of torment
One you never get used to
Staring out through a window
A whole life on an island
Floating further away
But this is not a vacation
No one’s getting a postcard
No, in fact, no one has their ticket for the flight back home
And sometimes the days are good
You’re living
And you’re thrilled you’re finally doing it
Then you think of ways to ruin it
I never wanted to fly
I took a leap cause i was sure i was running out of ground
Oh i, i’m looking down at the skyscrapers
And i’m screaming out but no one hears a sound
And i know that thinking of the plunge is something you think you understand
Well same goes for me, kid
In a matter of speaking
And i’m just waiting to land
Oh, oh
I, i never wanted to fly
I took a leap cause i was sure i was running out of ground
