Up in the air I scrape the sky
Imagining you were by my side
I walk the floors you touched before
And down below are millions more
An ocean roars through salt-aired streets
Down avenues and where they meet
But high above I think of love
And you’re the one that I’m thinking of
Ooh, I hear the sounds, now
Ooh, I’ll take a look around
The city in the clouds
I take to ground and hit the earth
I breathe in fumes and taste the dirt
Where water was is now unclear
Incessant noise is all I hear
Ooh, well I heard the sounds, now
Ooh, I took a look around town (I went downtown)
Ooh, well I heard the sounds, now
Ooh, I took a look around
The city in the clouds
It’s funny how when things are near
They often change how they appear
When seen so far or out of view
Is it the same for me and you?
