Low-Flying Jets Lyrics

Don't want to sit up straight
Or look you in the face
I keep checking over your shoulder
Cause I’ve been dreaming of low-flying jets
Sweet town knocked my head over
Over and over
You got your head in the clouds
You can't hear me at all
And I don't know what to say
Cause I don't know what's wrong
It's just a headache i suppose
Thrown back like a sinking boat
I keep thinking it's all over
Cause I’ve been dreaming of undertows
And the places that you go
And my head slips off your shoulder
You got your head in the clouds
You can't hear me at all
And I don't know what to say
Cause I don't know what's wrong
You can't hear me at all
Been staying up too late
I keep dreaming of lost in space
And when I wake up
I start to break up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think he sings "I've been dreaming of low-flying jets that sweep down and knock my head", "lean back like a sinking boat", "the places that you go when my head slips off your shoulder", and "I keep dreaming I'm lost in space".

I think it's about being in a relationship with someone and they've moved on before you're even broken up.

You sense there's something off, then you know there's something off, but you don't know how to address it so you just keep bracing yourself for the moment they break it off.

And I've actually been in this exact situation, and I kept having recurring dreams about floods. It was odd, but when I heard this song, I could definitely relate.
