Lyrics
I'm flying by the seat of my pants
crashing into miracles
flying just a little too fast
to escape the invisible
cuz if I take too long
I remember how I fell down
and when you're on the ground
motivation lacks imagination
so I'm flying by the seat of my pants
going just a little too fast
and I'm running into circumstance
that's making me so so sad
but I'm hoping that I'll find the chance
to live a dream that just might last
paint my life according to planned
but I've got to find it fast
cuz if I turn around
I might see where I fell down
when the sky's this wide
you forget your navigation
so if I take too long
I remember how I fell down
And when you're on the ground
imagination lacks motivation
cuz if I take too long
I remember how I fell down
and when you're on the ground
motivation lacks imagination
