Hawaiian Air Lyrics

Taking a ride to another climb
Knees in my back 'cause we're flying high
Did I give it all?
I guess I gave it all

Seeing the mountains through the fog
Watching a film with a talking dog
'Cause if I fall
Then I guess I fall

[Repeat: x4]
Hawaiian air

Leaving the world down beneath the clouds
Hawaiian notes, don't need no pounds
Did I give them all?
Oh, did I give them all?

Ache in my leg from a broken seat
Skipping the meal for a G&T
'Cause if I fall
I'm beggin' not to fall

[Repeat: x4]
Hawaiian air

Touchin' down
Hit the ground
I'm breathin' new air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As we land, you pinch my hand
I'm still here
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

Up in the sky Honolulu bound
Steel guitar and the melly sound
Did I give it all?
I guess I gave it all

Feeling the shapes keeps me reticent
Stuck in my seat from the turbulence
And if I fall
Then I fall

Breaking open skies of green earths
Deserts,
In our eyes we're falling
Our hearts in our ?

Touchin' down
Hit the ground
I'm breatin' new air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As we land, you pinch my hand
I'm still here
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As the wheels, hit the ground
I'm breathing Hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As the heat fills my lungs
I'm breathing Hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

[Repeat: x4]
Hawaiian air

I think that in the first line it would be "clime" not "climb".

Great song. Among my favourites on Pala.

Lyric Correction

Yeah, you're right. I copied these lyrics from another site and edited them accordingly. Definitely overlooked that part XD Have edited :)

im thinking its about a holiday, but feel that thats a given? the feeling when you first step of a plane into the humid hot amazing holiday destination, "can i take this all in"

but meh good song :D :D

Cover art for Hawaiian Air lyrics by Friendly Fires

It seems to me that this is about a dream holiday to Hawaii of someone who doesn't like flying. The lyrics are about the discomfort of the seats, having alcohol instead of food to calm the nerves, the resign to the thought that if the plane goes down there is nothing you can do and when the flight is over after touch down the reassuring pinch of the hand by a loved one signalling that it is all over. Watching a film with a talking dog, is an in flight movie possibly that they are not concentrating on because of the fear of flying (I'm wondering if in Scooby Doo 2, doesn't Scooby dress up in a hoola outfit? just a random Hawaii connection.) Anyway I could be completely wrong, just the way I interpret the lyrics

My Interpretation

Great song for an airline. They all suck. :|

Cover art for Hawaiian Air lyrics by Friendly Fires

Just a thought, I think it "Up in the sky Honolulu bound". Makes so much mre sense

Lyricfind put in their lyrics over the top of mine. I can't change this, sorry. We're working on a way to get Lyricfind lyrics correct. All this ranting and raving by Blindparadox won't make it change faster.

I got these lyrics from another website and edited them as I saw fit (and I still can't figure some lyrics out lol). So if anyone has any changes to make, please comment! :)

JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW - LYRICFIND HAS PUT THEIR 'OFFICIAL' LYRICS OVER THE TOP OF MINE. This is why most of the words are wrong. I can't do anything about this, sorry. Please don't have a go at me when I had the correct lyrics up originally. Thanks.

when i first heard this song I thought it was about drugs.... purely because of the talking dog lyric. and if i fall then i guess i fall which is like coming down from a drug. but meh i dunno :)

HERE ARE THE CORRECT LYRICS (as I posted them before Lyricfind took over):

Taking a ride to another clime Knees in my back 'cause we're flying high Did I give it all? I guess I gave it all

Seeing the mountains through the fog Watching a film with a talking dog 'Cause if I fall Then I guess I fall

As the wheels, hit the ground I'm breathing Hawaiian air Can I take this all in? Can I take this all in?

As the heat fills my lungs I'm breathing Hawaiian air Can I take this all in? Can I take this all in?

Of course, there are still a few lyrics I couldn't get because I'm not a genius.

To me, it sounds more like:

Touchin' down Hit the ground I'm breathing new air Can I take this all in? Can I take this all in?

Lyric Correction

I thought it was Can I take... as well, but I hesitated and kept the original lyrics lol. I'll make some amends :)
