I've overjoyed, & in the sun, the second time this year
I'm on a plane at thirty thousand feet, the only way from here is down
& that's ok with me
Cause I'm overjoyed and ready for the fall
It's no surprise that I've been forced to learn that bliss comes at a price
& here I am still mining gold from the soul I've sold like a whore
The finger of blame is pointing at me
Cause I lit that flame & now it's burning me
But I'm overjoyed, & it's no surprise that I'm ready for the fall
I'm on a plane at thirty thousand feet, the only way from here is down
& that's ok with me
Cause I'm overjoyed and ready for the fall
& here I am still mining gold from the soul I've sold like a whore
The finger of blame is pointing at me
Cause I lit that flame & now it's burning me
But I'm overjoyed, & it's no surprise that I'm ready for the fall

simple and beautiful. this song is about reaching that apex of joy (here the speaker compares it literally to being on a plane at 30 000 feet) and knowing that things can only go downhill from there. but it doesn't matter, because the feeling at that moment is enough.
