You're In The Air

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You wanted a challenge

That's calling you higher

I landed on my feet by crawling

I remember standing alone trying to forget you idling

I hate to admit that that's my reference point

But there it is

You say you want me

I'm what you found

I'm upside down

You're in the air

You're in the air

And I am breathing

Brighten the stars

The weather is lifting

The heavens love

A love like this

It's pulling you higher

Twist it and turn this around

It lights from within it

Dribbles your chin

Now brings a smile

I'm lost again

I'm lost again

I'm what you found

I'm upside down

You're in the air

You're in the air

And I am breathing you

I want the stars to know they've won

If only to beguile

The sky has opened up again

In heaven reconciled

I want you naked

I want you wild

I want the stars to know they win

Give me that smile

Just give it me

Just turn it on

I'm lost again

I'm what you found

I'm upside down

You're in the air

I'm what you found

I'm upside down

You're in the air

I'm what you found

I'm upside down

You're everywhere

You're in the air

And I am breathing you
