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

Cover art for Flying at Night lyrics by Tanya Donelly

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."
