Up in the Air

from Big Time Baby by Lesley Barth

/

lyrics

I’m a little rough around the edges.
Sometimes I fear the center won’t hold.
It’s been a little time since I felt easy.
I’ve been climbing for years,
But it’s getting old.

Wish I knew what I was reaching for.
Maybe I’m just scared of the ground.

So I’m up in in the air, walking the wire.
So unprepared for anything real.
And I’ve tried to quit drinking,
But it just made me thirsty.
So I’m up in the air.
That’s how this feels.

I get a little hazy in the morning.
Don’t take much to keep me in bed.
It’s been a while since I felt anything
Apart from these dreams in my head.
I wish I knew what I was running from.
But I’m too afraid to look down.

So I’m up in the air, walking the wire.
So unprepared for anything real.
And I’ve tried to quit dreaming,
But it just makes me restless.
So I’m up in the air.
That’s how this feels.

Oh the feeling of equilibrium - no one’s making a sound.
They all clap as you rise, you’re alone coming down.

Wish I knew what I was running from.
But I’m too afraid to look down.

So I’m up in the air, walking the wire.
So unprepared for what’s headed my way.
And I’ve tried to quit wanting,
But it just made my heart break.
So I’m up in the air and afraid that I’ll stay up in the air -
Hope I come down someday.
