Down.

When i look that way
I see you
When i look this way
I see two
It's doubled
My vision
Got dizzy
Fell over
Crash
and
Burn
So they say
One day i will take off
Some airplane
Someday
Oh just go away
You shot me down
In my plane
I thought i was safe
In the air
You told me the truth
It taught me to crash land
In one easy step:
Down.
Why this obsession with fire?
Must you burn up all i hold
In between my little fingers
Scraps of paper
Ripped up love notes
Shredded directions
How to fly a plane
Much like
How i love you
But how you love me?
How to fly a plane
One easy step:
Down.
So i'll be crashing and burning
On this brilliant blue day
Brilliantly blue
But deathly grey sneaks in
To eat the blue for breakfast
The inflight meal
Makes me throw up
As the plane plummets down
Don't play with fire
Don't play with my heart
Too late
As the nose of the plane splinters the trees below
And we all crash
We all burn
But not you
You stand on the ground below
Look up at the explosive display
Orange
Red
Yellow
Burn Burn Burn
And that's when i notice
I'm the only one
In this metallic bird
You're the only one there
On the safe and hard ground
My eyes seem to focus on your's
They only reflect the fire that licks the plane up
How to crash land a plane in one easy step?
Down.
