lyrics

When I get up high
fly in an airplane
seat by the window
looking out at all the world I'm running round and touching down
land in a new place
meeting an old friend
well wouldn't you know
we're reminiscin this n' that n' having such a good time

and I wish we had more time

I wish I was always high
and never had to say goodbye
I don't ever want to die
cause theres to much I gotta try

I gotta try

Looking with wide eyes
at infinite blue skies
over the vast planes
as the sun is going down the shadows grow the moons aglow
and crickets are chirping
I'm singing the same song
familiar refrain
bout all the things I wanna see and wanna be and honestly
I'm livin my best life

and I wish I had more time

I wish I was always high
and never had to say goodbye
I don't ever want to die
cause theres to much I gotta try

I gotta try

and I just want to be
free
and I just want to be
free
and freedom isn't free
freedom isn't dumb
what freedom means to me isn't what freedom means to everyone
cuz I think no ones free
until were all free
and I just want to be free

(I want us all to be)

I wish I was always high
and never had to say goodbye
I don't ever want to die
cause theres to much I gotta try

I gotta try
