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.
