[Intro] Finally not waking up dreaming of your ghost And music is for everyone Why was I always the last to know? No idea how hard it was to get this close With all this extra baggage And a graft that will not accept the host [Verse 1] These tattered coat-tails, these torn tennis shoes I am not smarter than many But I do think that I'm smarter than you Dappled sunlight that the warm air reciprocates You look up long enough to notice But not long enough to appreciate that [Chorus] Down here in the flight path Down here in the flight path we do our best Down here in the flight path we do our best To keep our heads up [Verse 2] I'll sing loud at water falling on stones I want well-timed time with friends And well-timed time that I'll spend alone Throw my body into insignificant positions I'm gonna make more starts Complete more chances and more finishes [Pre-Chorus] Fly through the world like a whirling dervish in a hurricane Take off my clothes and run screaming in the pouring rain Kiss people even when I'm pretty sure its a mistake And try to find a love that not for a second I'll have to fake [Chorus x2] Down here in the flight path Down here in the flight path we do our best Down here in the flight path we do our best To keep our heads [Bridge] And the sun, will rise In the same place every day It would be arrogant to think That we could change anything Except maybe block it's rays But who would wanna do that anyway? And I, will rise In a different place almost every day It would be arrogant to think That we could change anything But if you're here to block my rays You're gonna have to get the f** outta my way Cause I will shine, on you Like it was the only thing I ever wanted to do I will shine on you Like it was the only thing that ever mattered And all I was put on this earth to do I will shine on you [Pre-Outro x2] One day its gonna spit me out But its gonna stick my landing You okay with being talked about? Its hard to not feel love right now Lets wrap our arms around each other Shake our imperfect bodies around [Chorus] Down here in the flight path Down here in the flight path we do our best Down here in the flight path we do our best To keep our heads
