Up in the Air
Kevin Renick
I m up in the air,
Choices drifting by me everywhere.
And I can t find the one
That would help me do the work I ve left undone,
Cause I m up in the air.
I m making some plans,
Finding out there s always new demands.
And I can t be precise;
When people ask me what I m doing with my life,
I say, It s up in the air.
I m hearing from friends.
It s that tired, old advice again:
You just cannot keep floating all around.
Oh, you got to get your feet back on the ground.
But it s hard to come down
When you re up in the air.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm...
I m traveling in my car,
Always lost, though I don t go that far.
I find that I can live most anywhere.
Everyone I meet has so much they can share.
But I don t settle down,
Cause I m up in the air.
I m thinking of my past,
The comfort in my home that couldn t last.
Now my family tells me work for your success,
And they want to see me find some happiness.
But I m not sure where that is,
Cause I m up in the air.
I m talking with my peers,
Listening to them tell their inner fears.
Some have lives that haven t gone the way they planned,
And some are trapped in situations they canât stand.
But I don t want the same for me,
So I stay up in the air.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm...
I m out in the woods;
Something here does my heart so good.
I breathe the air, and I know that I m alive.
And I stare at all the birds as they fly by.
I guess it all comes down to them,
Cause they re up in the air...
