Above Ground Lyrics

Cover art for Above Ground lyrics by Norah Jones

I think that the song is fairly straightforward. She wants someone, but she's too nervous to actually approach this person, although she does have hope that she will someday. She keeps longing to go above ground and finally be with this person, she just needs to work her way up to it.

My favorite line is "pour the night into a glass/can I sip it slow and make it last?" It's a beautiful way of describing going out for a drink with someone and hoping it doesn't end. This is my favorite song of hers.
