Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming with palm muting]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals, chest voice]
Planes take off
You were on the ground
Suddenly it pops in
Brings you back down
[Chorus]
[strumming intensifies, strained belt vocals]
She said no
She said no
Playing one more time she said no
No, she said
I'm getting in your head
If there's anything out there
Dead
It's not where I want to be
I just want to be with you
[Bridge]
[acoustic guitar returns to muted rhythmic pattern]
Fly
Of another day
I know someone out there on the way
Looks just like the animal from Twilight Zone
Fire coming out the end
I'm supposed to sit here quietly
I don't mind
I don't mind
Sometimes I get blinded by the
[Chorus]
[full strumming, high energy]
Sets go down
Don't leave me up here
Don't leave me up here
I just want to stay together
Don't leave me up here
Don't make us go
I just want to live forever
[Outro]
[clean electric guitar sustained chords]
Oh, I don't have to take a census test
I don't have to take a census test
I don't have to take a census test
Tell me that I'd like to be alive
Now the ocean wanders
Racing towards the shore
Someone tried to come back
Suddenly we go
Go
Oh
It doesn't have to be this way
It doesn't have to be this way
If I could just die down
Of outer space
