All that happens now
Is not some glorious accident
All that matters now
As you ignore and i pretend
This planes flying upside down
The steering wheel is stuck
But i'm turning us around
We will see that sky above
Ambition and she looks good on you tonight
She holds your hand and runs
Your lungs are burning bright
Morning comes like it almost always does
You want to hold her but you know you can't keep up
This planes flying upside down
And this how i ask for help
By pulling the fire alarm
And blocking your exit
We argue like two kids that can't share toys
I swing at you with words sharper than any swords
You come back with a trap so good it hurts
You say, "i will never leave, you know, no matter what"
All that happens now
Is not some glorious accident
All that matters now
As you ignore and i pretend
I'm shocked when you light the candle
And then i go outside
I can't make you see my hand so
I need you to come in cause
Tell me it's alright
Flying upside down
The steering wheel is stuck
But i'm turning us around
We'll see that sky above
And let go of all that i know
A guest on this crazy game show
They won't make or break the whole world
Flying upside down x4
