Hovering Lyrics[Verse 1]
Watching the planes land over the bay
I wish they could hang in the air forever
Holding the patterns for days
I hope they (hope they, hope they) will be delayed forever
Standing alone at the gate, she's late
She's miles above somewhere, hovering
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why won't you write? Write me a word to say
Tell me you miss my ways, tell me you miss my face
[Chorus]
I never meant to clip your pretty wings
Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings
And you always knew it, you saw right through it
So why'd you have to go?
[Verse 3]
Standing still at the gate, and I ache (I ache I ache)
My palms are like lakes rising
The wheels drop and she starts to descend
And the runway will light her way as she starts hovering
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when she lands, I race for the crashing ground
The oxygen from the mask, that only words mark the past
[Chorus]
I never meant to clip your pretty wings
Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
And you always knew it, you saw right through it
So why'd you have to...?
