Made a home in a basement
Didn't think that I'd need the light
'Cause all these plans I've been making
Get me out of here in time
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know?
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know?
We'll be scraping the skies with our fingertips
Screaming, "This is the life, we were born for this"
See, I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
I've got a hope in the headlights
Stood still but I'm feeling fine
'Cause all these plans I've been making
Will get me out of here in time
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know?
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know?
We'll be scraping the skies with our fingertips
Screaming, "This is the life, we were born for this"

from the band: We both live in London, and are used to the majority of our friends living in dingy, basement flats with no natural light and paying through the nose for the privilege. "Plans" tells a little story of someone who lives in a basement flat, but has plans to get out, build a paper plane where they'll be "scraping the skies with our fingertips, screaming "'this is the life, we were born for this!'" It's about believing in yourself no matter what, and understanding that everything is transient, and everything will pass. You just gotta dream big and have faith.
