Up in the Air
Love's Departure: A Melancholic Journey Up in the Air
Lyrics
You can stay if you want
You have the option to stay if you choose.
Steal another day
Extend the experience for another day by stealing time.
Wake at 1 PM
Start the day at 1 PM, suggesting a laid-back lifestyle.
Forget for a while about the bloody plane
Temporarily forget about the challenging or distressing experiences related to the plane.
Yeah we can close our eyes
We can imagine a different reality by closing our eyes.
Dream that you are gonna stay
Hopeful dreaming about your continued presence.
But I know that in 5 hours you will gonna be up in the air
Acknowledging the inevitability that, in 5 hours, you'll be on a plane.
And I'll be missing your cold feet under the blanket
Expressing the anticipation of missing the physical closeness, specifically cold feet under a blanket.
Your trembling hands seeking shelter under my jacket
Describing the sentimental image of your hands seeking warmth under a jacket.
And I'll regret all the things I can’t tell you up in the air
Anticipating regret for the unspoken things during the time you're up in the air.
Baby, I'm still here
Reassuring the person that the speaker is still present.
Roaming in the airport's aisles
Describing a wandering state within the airport.
Then I see you coming toward me
Encountering the person coming towards the speaker.
Tell me that you missed your flight
Hearing that the person missed their flight, indicating a potential problem.
But I know that something's wrong
Sensing that something is wrong, as observed from people's reactions.
I can tell it from the people stares
Noticing the difference in people's stares, possibly due to an unsettling atmosphere.
Cause I'm talking with a ghost
Feeling like they are talking to a ghost, indicating a sense of distance or detachment.
And you're already up in the air
Confirming that the person is already on the plane.
And I'll be missing your cold feet under the blanket
Repeating the anticipation of missing physical closeness during the absence.
Your trembling hands seeking shelter under my jacket
Reiterating the sentimental image of seeking shelter under a jacket.
And I'll regret all the things I can't tell you up in the air
Expressing the expected regret for unspoken words during the time up in the air.
Someday I know we'll meet again
Expressing hope for a future meeting, even if it requires significant effort.
Even if I have to catch a thousand planes
Emphasizing the willingness to go to great lengths to meet again someday.
Someday you'll find me standing there
Envisioning a future moment of reunion.
Even if I know our story is up in the air
Acknowledging the uncertain status of their relationship, described as "up in the air."
Up in the air
Repetition of the phrase "Up in the air" for emphasis.
Up in the air
-Up in the air
-And I'll be missing your cold feet under the blanket
Reiterating the anticipation of missing physical closeness during the absence.
Your trembling hands seeking shelter under my jacket
Reiterating the sentimental image of seeking shelter under a jacket.
And I'll regret all the things I can't tell you up in the air
Reiterating the expected regret for unspoken words during the time up in the air.
And I'll be missing the long walks along the river
Anticipating the absence of shared moments during the time up in the air.
The way the wind would give your body gentle shivers
Recalling the sensory experiences during shared moments, like walks along the river.
And I'll regret all the things I can't tell you up in the air
Anticipating regret for the unspoken things during the time up in the air.
