Lyrics and translation
Original
We used to like to take the drive. Gonna steal the night for a place to hide.
And back in the day, I'd hear you say, "A love that's love won't fade away.
" But if that then were a thing that's true, then I won't be forgetting you.
But the night gets long when the flight's all gone.
You told me a lie.
I started to fly a little too high.
So hard to get by up in the sky, a little too high.
Still believe that the world could be like a symphony for you and me.
Still recall those dreams we had when we took the fall and it all went bad.
Now if it been my only sin, I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in.
But the night gets long when the flight's all gone.
You told me a lie.
I started to fly a little too high.
So hard to get by up in the sky, a little too high.
I've been here alone.
My love is a stone.
Have you been gone so long?
There's no coming home, coming home.
Oh, the night gets long when the flight's all gone.
I'm willing to try.
Don't let me die a little too high.
We're losing time.
I'm losing my mind a little too high.
You told me a lie.
I started to fly a little too high.
It's hard to get by up in the sky, a little too high.
