Bird in an Aeroplane

[Verse 1] Feathered to the tips Light weight, but strong I can only go this long Iron, steel, and smoke Your power is endless I'm only flesh and bones [Pre-Chorus] Every machine has a promise to break Stuck in a dream that I may not escape [Chorus] I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam, I'm off terrain I'm a bird in an aeroplane [Verse 2] Crossing continents We're going in loops Tell me will we ever land Longing to return To somewhere I've known Something quite familiar (Oh-oh) [Pre-Chorus] Every machine has a promise to break Stuck in a dream that I may not escape [Chorus] I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam, I'm off terrain I'm a bird in an aeroplane [Bridge] We're flying over mountains higher every day I'm trying to keep up, trying to match your game While you are gaining height, I'm fading into grey And away [Chorus] I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam, I'm off terrain I'm a bird in an aeroplane I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam, I'm off terrain I'm a bird in an aeroplane
