Standing on the rooftop
Twenty stories high
City lights below me, reaching for the sky
Everybody's rushing
But i'm standing still
For a moment up here, time just bends to my will
Traffic noise is fading
Sirens far away
Up above the chaos
I just want to stay
Wind is in my hair and i close my eyes
Feeling like i'm floating, like i could fly
Flying in the sky
Leaving it all behind
Above the concrete jungle, peace is what i find
Flying in the sky
Nothing holding me down
For a little while, i'm off the ground
Yeah, i'm off the ground
Back down on the pavement
Reality hits hard
But i keep that feeling locked inside my heart
Every time the pressure gets too much to take
I remember how it felt
That sweet escape
Subway cars and office floors
Can't keep me caged
Every night i climb back up, turn another page
They can have the ground floor
I don't need their crown
I got my own kingdom when the sun goes down
Flying in the sky
Leaving it all behind
Above the concrete jungle, peace is what i find
Flying in the sky
Nothing holding me down
For a little while, i'm off the ground
Yeah, i'm off the ground
Maybe i'm just running
From what i should face
Maybe i'm just looking for a better place
But up here i'm free
Up here i'm me
That's all i need
That's all i need
Flying in the sky
Leaving it all behind
Above the concrete jungle, peace is what i find
Flying in the sky
Nothing holding me down
For a little while, i'm off the ground
Yeah, i'm off the ground
Flying in the sky
Just me and the stars tonight
Flying in the sky
