i could lie, just to make you feel important
but the fact that i don't need to, makes it all too sweet to speak to these words to
you and i, put our backs against the water
to escape the dark we're used to, just like everything was brand new
then we woke up, and we learned that we were older
and the lesson learned is over, but the lesson only lessoned my
return these serenades, so you may recieve
before the sirens throw me outward, and the melodies move to your stereo

did you know? we're Airplanes on Fire, soaring at the speed of
sound this broadcast live, through burning engines we don't have to die,
our persistant burning sky

if I could tell the whole wide world, how people used to envy us
like it would be the end of time if we turned out this
waving goodbye was only hard before i put my dreams on
tape machines and credit cards. am i a star? i'd rather just be yours

but you know? we're Airplanes on Fire, soaring at the speed of
sound this broadcast live, through burning engines we don't have to die,
our persistant burning sky
did you know? we're Airplanes on Fire, soaring at the speed of
sound this broadcast live, a thousand crashes but no body died,
our persistant burning sky
