Left the ground In black and white And when the plane went down The colors all around I know by now The margins slight And still I can't get out She's all I think about Can't let her go It's who you know We came down to watch the world walk by And all she found was trouble in my eyes From the sky she pulled me down tonight Let her go Let her go She moves fast Takes control And like a heart attack I know I can't turn back And time just passed Nights move slow And she was all I had Thought I'd never last Can't let her go It's who you know We came down to watch the world walk by And all she found was trouble in my eyes From the sky she pulled me down tonight Let her go Let her go We came down to watch the world walk by And all she found was trouble in my eyes From the sky she pulled me down tonight She calls out the farther that I fly I love that sound, so give me one more line And from the sky she pulled me down tonight Let her go Let her go Let her go Let her go
