Steep Air Lyrics

I’m tired of waiting on a ship that won’t leave shore
I’m tired of waiting on a ship that won’t leave shore
The water’s bloody with the one who came before
The water’s bloody with the one who came before
Hey she made you say it, yeah they’ll make you say it
Hey you know you said it a lot
Hey you never stayed for, now you’ve gotta pray for
Something better than what you’ve got

I’m tired of waiting on a plane that don’t have wings
I’m tired of waiting on a plane that don’t have wings
The runway’s rotten with the dirt and weeds
The runway’s rotten with the dirt and weeds
Hey he made me say it, yeah they’ll make you say it
Hey you know you’ve said it outloud
Hey you never stayed for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you’ve got

I booked my ticket
Packed my bag
My flight is leaving
And our time has passed
I’m tired of knocking on a door that just won’t budge
Locked out of the engine I'm just a wheel that you have spun

But who’s to say I don’t have wings?
But who’s to say I don’t have wings?

how come nobody ever comments s-k songs?? they barely get any comments even if they're just lame ones like the ones i type simply saying they're really good?! oh well... this is a great song as well.

actually this entire album is incredible. i thought one beat was gonna be hard to top but they did beautifully (as always).

She finally gets sick of trying to get someone to love her. Clearly the other person is scarred from a previously realtionship.
