To me, the song is about love.
He loves being in love. I believe he's comparing love to flying. Women (the thing that takes you into love) are the airplanes. He's afraid of women because he's been hurt, but he loves the way it feels to be in love.
Then he tries to tell himself that this one is going to work.
He's so excited that it happens that he doesn't realize that it could end (... don't believe it, gravity can pull me from this height."), but at the same time knows it has to because past relationships have led him to believe that (One day we'll come crashing down.)
And when he's looking at the ground and how boring life was before love, almost taking it for granite... it disentigrates (Ah look out, we're going down.)
