Live Forever (Fly With Me) Lyrics
I see your window and all I can think about is
Do you wanna fly with me?
I know it sounds crazy but I can't find solid ground
So do you wanna fly with me?
Do you wanna fly with me?
And I've been staring out this window for the past eleven hours
thinking of all the opportunities this window has to offer
from the 23rd floor to filing cabinet in east Manhattan
the FDR is beautiful as I'm watching all the cars passing
and a couple stars twinkle so I started laughing and then a couple walked by and they looked so happy
I booked this room at this place called the Last Resort
All my bags are packed I got my jacket and my passport
And a first class ticket to the afterlife, you dig me?
Now is you is, or is you is you ain't with me
I fully understand if you got other plans
but I can't see you hand to hand with another man
i been on autopilot since we last spoke
and i don't wanna board this flight on a bad note
i want you to think about it but either way I'm going
and if you really love me, here's your chance to show it
(chorus)
We'll live forever
they will write a novel about our love
She look me dead in the eyes and took me by the hand
Kissed me on my cheek and said "Baby, listen I understand,
You don't have to leave, plus I'm scared of heights.
So just put down your luggage, forget about this flight
you and I, you know we've been through a lot of things
but it's no reason to start trippin and arguing"
she said, "you are my king, I place no one above you
and I don't have to board a plane for me to show I love you
and all this talk about the afterlife is kinda creepy
So lets just go lay down and talk I'm gettin kinda sleepy"
I kinda smiled then we both walked to the window
I pulled it shut and started staring at the sky
I wiped a couple tears away then we looked at each other
and I could see the stars twinkle in her eyes
I told her about the couple I saw earlier
she said I'm sure they were cute but they're no you and I
(chorus)
We'll live forever
they will write a novel about our love
Do you wanna fly with me?
I know it sounds crazy but I can't find solid ground
So do you wanna fly with me?
Do you wanna fly with me?

i really like this one. the new album is probably my biggest guilty pleasure as far as music goes. it's so catchy, but nothing like the poetry of PCC that got me started
o btw: "I know it sounds crazy but I CAN'T FIND solid ground"
"We'll live forever they will write a novel about OUR LOVE"
biggest guilty pleasure ever.
awesome song. one of the bests on the album, my point of view is that Travis (or the person in the song) is going to commit suicide because he loves this girl and he thinks she no longer corresponds, and he's trying to get this girl to go with him and just be together forever but then the girl tells him that she indeed loves him still and that there's no need to kill themselves to be together.
i'm not a big fan of the chorus, but everything else is beautiful.
i can't put down the idea that the "guy" in the song is asking her to commit suicide with him (do you want to fly with me).
"I booked this room at this place called the Last Resort All my bags are packed I got my jacket and my passport And a first class ticket to the afterlife, you dig me?"
those lines also tell that, well, there's no plane involved
This song is so powerful i think, my take on it is a boyfriend who has been left by his girlfriend, contemplating suicide. i dont think it has anything to with a flight or travel, but with passing to the afterlife. he starts by the window, which offers him an 'opportunity' to end the way he feels, to fly away from the feelings he is suffering now by ending his life.
he believes that by ending his life he will ensure that people will write about their love, then it will not be forgotten even if she has.
i think he is maybe dreaming the second verse, imagining what it would take for her to say to bring him back from the brink, she says that killing yourself doesnt prove their love and that she fears death, and that what he is doing is silly.
they end talking as if they were together again, which is why i think he is perhaps imagining the second verse.
just my take, i may be completely wrong!
i read an article about gch that said travvy wrote this song about his cousin who committed suicide.
the thing i love most about this song is how honest it is. i think no matter who it's about the fact that it's pretty straightfoward being about suicide is really cool, like how he's not afraid to let people know exactly what's going through his mind, no matter how bad it is. this may just be because i love them and think most stuff they do is genius, though, haha.
and i love cream247's explanation, too. there's something about it that's really eloquent.
thanks for the corrections theenjoisk8r
