i feel the closest to you when i'm in the air
i feel the most alive when cities become stars beneath my feet
i crave the feeling of taking off at full speed
yet stay still with a book and a glass of chardonnay in hand
i feel the closest to you when i'm the farthest away
in places that i've never before been until that moment
in places where i can get lost and find my way out
but only and until i want to leave the novelty behind
i feel the closest to you when i'm free
and i want to feel closer
closer until the distance
breaks the bond that's as good as dead
i'm the only one holding on
thousands of feet in the air
set me free
