lyrics

The air was thick from that altitude
But I learned it's best not to assume
That you're gonna be met by an early death
If you find it hard to catch your breath
Pull yourself together child
Your mind it's racing and running wild
The world's wicked, might drive you mad
Might make you feel like you wanna turn back

You're already too far gone
When stagnancy's the enemy, keep moving along

I met a dime with jet-black hair who
Made it known that she did not care
About much of anything
Indifferent toward what the future might bring

What a way to live
If you're life is lacking passion, well then all you'll ever do is exist

Days keep coming and go by fast
Time keeps slipping through the hourglass
I think back to those summer nights
When we gazed up at exploding lights

Fireflies and baseball fields
My recollection's vivid and refuses to yield
Our long-lost teenage kiss
The love that fueled my passion now only in my memory exists

I'm feeling like an aeroplane that's
Heading straight for the hurricane
Drawn in by the peaceful eye of Death
This hunk of metal will be torn to shreds

I'm on a one-way trip
If you never find the wreckage, well then tell me did I ever exist

Tell me did I ever exist
Tell me did I ever exist
If you never find the wreckage sugahh, tell me did I ever exist
