In The Air

from Fluorochrome by Sara Ayers

lyrics

I look up to the sky every time an airplane passed by
I should have learned by now, I should have learned how
How not to listen, not to worry and never, never wonder why
One if by land, two if by sea but I wasn't prepared for the air

Two in a perfect pair, the hand inside the glove
But we're only being wise and we're only being kind
When we hurt the one we say we love

Your thoughts are hanging before me, your words
In the air I breathe
Electric silence, sing to me
In the air I breathe
Hold me now, I had a dream
Finger on a trigger, one second to scream
A moment before midnight
The last sigh we breathe

Our words become weapons
Our thoughts become a scream
And with such fear, delicious fear
As we can imagine, as we dare to dream
I hear a siren in the distance
But I don't listen anymore
And if I think of it, and we've loved and we've lived
But what have we done and what was it for
