(Verse 1)
Wish I was an airplane, one flight, no delay
Cruisin’ through the night, let the pain drift away
Layin’ in my bed but my mind in the sky
Got these heavy thoughts, yeah they never pass by
Talk about dreams that I never could reach
Every late night feel like a lesson they teach
Talk about words that the preacher done said
But they hit different echoes in the back of my head
Windows to the soul but the curtains stay closed
Fightin’ with myself, yeah nobody knows
Tryna stay strong, keep a grip, don’t fold
But the silence get loud when the night turn cold
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I’m stuck in between what I feel and believe
Got a heart full of hope but it’s hard to achieve
Tryna hold on tight but it slip through my hands
Like a plane in the dark I don’t know where I land
(Chorus)
Wish I was an airplane, gone with the wind
No baggage on me, just a place to begin
High above the doubts, far away from the pain
But I’m grounded right here, tryna break every chain
Wish I was an airplane, out of my mind
Leave the past in the clouds, leave it all behind
Late nights, no sleep, just thoughts on repeat
Tryna find my peace while I stare at the ceiling
(Verse 2)
Yeah, I been thinkin’ ‘bout life and the road that I’m on
All the rights feel wrong, all the nights too long
Preacher said faith gon’ carry your soul
But it’s hard when you feel like you losin’ control
Talk about purpose, talk about grace
Tryna find my way but I’m lost in the race
Everybody say that it’s all in God’s plan
But I’m still tryna figure who I am
Lookin’ at the clock while the time just flies
Got a million questions, never get replies
People say “pray,” yeah I try sometimes
But the doubts come back like a thousand tides
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m just tryna fly before I got wings
Chasin’ all these dreams, hear the doubt that it brings
But if I never try then I’ll never know
So I write these lines, let the pain just flow
If I crash, if I burn, at least I was real
Every scar, every wound just show how I feel
Turn the hurt into words, let it live in the beat
Every line like a step bring me back to my feet
(Chorus)
Wish I was an airplane, gone with the wind
No baggage on me, just a place to begin
High above the doubts, far away from the pain
But I’m grounded right here, tryna break every chain
Wish I was an airplane, out of my mind
Leave the past in the clouds, leave it all behind
Late nights, no sleep, just thoughts on repeat
Tryna find my peace while I stare at the ceiling
(Outro)
Yeah, one flight, no fear, just me and the sky
If I fall, at least I know I tried
Still dreamin’ even when I feel outta reach
Still hearin’ every word that the preacher preached
Maybe one day I’ll be flyin’ for real
Till then I’m just writin’ everything that I feel
From the bed to the booth, from the pain to release
Tryna turn all this noise into a little bit of peace
