Wings Lyrics

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you
It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
They made me think of you
They made me think of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
For the rest of our lives

I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

If these wings could fly

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

I think this song is about two lovers (or friends) who were separated. The narrator is recalling their last memories together and how much she wants to see him again.

My Interpretation

Yes, agree.

I have the impression that the song focuses on two moments.

There is one point in time that they know they will be apart, so the spend the day recalling memories together (we watch the day go by / stories of all we did) and he says that they will remember that moment for the rest of their lives (And how you told me after it all / We'd remember tonight)

I think there is also another stage when (he already left and) she does miss him and she wishes she had wings to fly, her heart is devastated and...

I think this song is about a couple who being distance in their relationship. Maybe its about work. What I found this song is fascinating is in the line

Oh lights go down In the moment we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly Oh damn these walls In the moment we're ten feet tall And how you told me after it all We'd remember tonight For the rest of our lives

Its remind me how we gonna handle our feeling when we separated by long distance without meeting..I totally just can't..

It's about a wish. She wants to meet someone again and i won't be surprised the next time i see Ryan Tedder writes a song that i LOVE. He is a genius.
