Lyrics
I'm on my way to the runway
I am progressing towards success or a significant moment in my life.
I'll take off and leave my love for you
I will move forward and leave behind the love I had for you.
Somewhere back in the city
Referring to a location in the city, possibly where memories are rooted.
At the corner of 43rd and Baltimore Avenue
Specifies a particular intersection, emphasizing a specific place.
And though I missed you dearly
Despite missing you, the relationship wouldn't have thrived.
We would've never made it through
The speaker believes separation was necessary for personal growth.
And I see you much more clearly
The speaker now understands things more clearly after the breakup.
Now that you're just someone that I knew
You've become someone from the past, no longer a significant part of my life.
But it's fine it's fine
Acceptance of the situation; expressing it's okay.
I was a fool with my head in the clouds
Admission of being foolish and not grounded in reality.
But then why did you
Raising a question about the ex-partner's actions.
Feel the need to drag me back down
Questioning the ex-partner's decision to bring the speaker back into negativity.
Ohh Ohhh
Expressing emotional distress through vocalization.
I always thought you were different
Disillusionment; realizing the ex-partner wasn't as special as thought.
That maybe you really cared for me
Believed the ex-partner had genuine feelings, now questioning that belief.
But you scowled at the distance
Noticed a negative reaction from the ex-partner when distance became a factor.
And I wasn't worth the misery
Realizing the relationship caused more pain than it was worth.
And I shouldn't have let you
Regret for allowing the ex-partner to emotionally harm the speaker.
Pull me apart and watch me cry
Recalling a moment of vulnerability and sadness caused by the ex-partner.
Now all that I'm left with
Left with the aftermath of the breakup, specifically the memory of saying goodbye.
The memory of your soft goodbye
The only thing remaining is the recollection of the ex-partner's gentle farewell.
And I'm fine I'm fine
Reiterating that the speaker is okay despite the emotional turmoil.
I'm just a fool with my head in the clouds
Acknowledging a tendency to be naive or overly optimistic.
But then why did you
Questioning why the ex-partner would want to bring the speaker down again.
Feel the need to drag me back down
Expressing confusion about the ex-partner's motives.
Ohhhh
An emotional cry or expression reflecting pain and confusion.
Ahhhh
Continuation of emotional vocalization, possibly conveying distress.
Ohh Ohhh Ahhhh
Combination of emotional sounds, emphasizing the intensity of feelings.
And I'm fine I'm fine
Reiteration that the speaker is fine despite the emotional struggle.
I'm just a fool with my head in the clouds
Admitting to being foolish and lost in dreams or illusions.
But I don't know why
Expressing uncertainty about why it's challenging to let go of past dreams.
I just can't let go of all I've been dreaming
The speaker struggles to release the dreams or aspirations tied to the past.
