Andrew McMahon
Into the Airwaves
[Verse One]
From an empty room on the first floor
As the cars pass by the liquor store
I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano
And it’s all that I can do to stay
With all the things I didn’t say to you
Before you moved across the country
[Verse Two]
And from the burning building where I lay
As I watch the stars become the day
The L.A. girls were lacing up their sneakers
They run the boardwalks and the beach
This fishbowl life is all they need
It’s everything I needed, too
Until I heard the news
[Pre-Chorus]
(I’ll send this message through the speakers)
They told me that you moved
(I’ll cross this country on a frequency)
[Chorus]
I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airwaves
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
My fingers and into the airwaves
(The static’s where you’ll find me)
[Verse Three]
From the corner by the studio
The gold-soaked afternoon comes slow
I deconstruct my thoughts and I am walking by
On Third Street, the freak show thrives
Santa Monica’s alive
But Something’s not so right inside
Living with the news
[Pre-Chorus]
(I’ll send this message through the speakers)
They told me that you moved
(I’ll cross this country on a frequency)
[Chorus]
I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airwaves
(The static’s where you’ll find me)
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
My fingers and into the airwaves
Into the airwaves
[Bridge]
So hang on, it’s gonna be hard day
So hang on, don’t panic
Don’t panic, there simply is no need
It’s gonna be a hard day
It’s gonna be a hard day
Don’t panic, don’t panic
We are hanging here
We are hanging here
[Chorus]
I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airwaves
(The static’s where you’ll find me)
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
My fingers and into the airwaves
Into the airwaves
[Outro]
It’s gonna be a hard day
(It’s gonna be a hard day)
So hang on
Don’t panic, don’t panic
There simply is no need
It’s gonna be a hard day
(It’s gonna be a hard day)
It’s gonna be a hard day
Don’t panic, don’t panic
We are hanging here
(It’s gonna be a hard day)
We are hanging here
(It’s gonna be a hard day)
We are hanging here
We are hanging here
