LyricMeaning

Synesthesia
Andrew McMahon

I saw pictures from the space shuttle, North America at night

I could almost see my house, I could almost see the rest of my life

Now my mother's in the hospital and my friends are in the news

Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote when we lived in the shadow of the moon


Guess I've never made a gold record and I've never been to Mars

But I've traveled 'round this world shooting fireworks at falling stars

And my father's got a decent job, I hear he's finally pulling through

There's more to life than singing songs we write when we are in the shadow of the moon


And I see colors when I hear your voice

Grab your wings, they're putting gravity on trial

I see colors, I don't hear the noise

Because we're only flying for awhile

Because we're only flying for awhile


I saw this picture of my niece twisting high above the narrow beam

And my brother looked so proud like he woke up in this perfect dream

I've known you all my life but I knew you long before that too

Let's go dancing to the songs we wrote when we lived in the shadow of the moon


And I see colors when I hear your voice

Grab your wings, they're putting gravity on trial

I see colors, I don't hear the noise

Sometimes we're only flying for awhile


I could love you in the falling rain,

Grab your things this is a storm we're meant to ride

Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane

It's like we're only flying for awhile,

Flying for awhile


Woahhh..


And I see colors when I hear your voice

Grab your wings they're putting gravity on trial

I see colors, I don't fear the choice

Sometimes we're only flying for awhile


And I could love you in the falling rain

Grab your things this is a storm we're meant to ride

Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane

It's like we're only flying for awhile

Flying for awhile


I can see the colors running, when they hear the music playing...


Flying for awhile...
