Flying at Night Lyrics
Wake up, look out the window
We're so high above it now
Don't you love flying at night?
Marveling down at the lights of the grid
Fills me with wonder, awe and despair
It's so easy to love everyone from up here
Skyscrapers, contrails, white noise, dark spaces
Between places it's so easy to love from up here
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
Down on the ground we fall over
Each other, sidewalks like tightropes
Build temples and tantrums
But we don't touch, don't touch
But blue screen, once upon a dream
It's so easy to love, easy to love from up here
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
And when we came it was easy
So high we were, so high we were
And when we laughed it was easy
So high we were, so high we were
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
Wake up, look out your window
We're so high above it now
We're so high above it now
Don't you love flying at night?
Marveling down at the lights of the grid
It's so easy to love everyone from up here
Skyscrapers, contrails, white noise, dark spaces
Between places it's so easy to love from up here
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
Each other, sidewalks like tightropes
Build temples and tantrums
But we don't touch, don't touch
It's so easy to love, easy to love from up here
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
So high we were, so high we were
And when we laughed it was easy
So high we were, so high we were
How it was, how it was, how it was?
Who's gonna know, gonna know, gonna know
How we were, how we were, how we were?
We're so high above it now

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "Flying over cities at night never fails to break my heart. It is deeply moving to see all of our lights and patterns and plans from above, and all the dark spaces between. In love with everyone and everything up there, which is super dorky and sentimental, and in conflict with much of the reality on the ground."
