Tom Odell – Flying :)) Lyrics

Flying :)) Lyrics By Tom Odell

This one was really hard to keep just limited to piano and vocal. It’s incredibly fast, and it’s got this crazy energy. When I was first writing it, I was really hammering away at the piano. I wanted this big, energetic moment. My dad was a pilot, and my uncle is an aeronautical engineer, and I was always obsessed with flying, understanding how birds fly. was also fascinated by the euphoria of being in the air and seeing the world from the air. I feel like there’s a dreaminess to it that probably is quite childlike. It takes me back to what it felt like to be a child.

[Verse 1]
And I’m coming home
London in the rain
Driving real slow in the fast lane
Feelin’ kinda stressed
Tryin’ to get drunk
Problem with the rich kids is that they’re no fun

[Chorus]
Right now I’m flying
So come and take a shot at me
Not scared of dying
It’s sad how sad this life can be

[Verse 2]
Driving through the clouds
Picking all the bad ones out the crowd
Had a bad month
Had a bad year
Had a bad time getting over my fears

[Chorus]
Right now I’m flying
So come and take a shot at me
Not scared of dying
It’s sad how–

[Bridge]
I don’t wanna talk about my problems
I don’t wanna tell another lie
I don’t wanna write another love song
I don’t wanna even fucking try
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody

[Chorus]
Right now I’m flying
So come and take a shot at me
Not scared of dying
It’s sad how sad this life can be
