When I dropped out of high school I didn't tell a soul cause no one was supposed to know
Now I'm looking at the window sky high in the air plane traveling all across the globe
That boy from the block with that loud voice box, he really came into his own

From being picked on to being first pick, this feels like the twilight zone
Sitting in the window seat wondering if this is real,
can it be, is this a dream, am I in it still?

Once I land, I'm the man, another city killed
I played a lot of shows, many of em %#@!ty bills
I'm here for one night, no time to sight see, flew overhead of the left and the right wing

See the lights beam, catch me in your kite string
Its been a pleasure y'all, feel free to write me


I know it's been a really long time since you seen me
Up in the air, I've been up in the air
Chilling on cloud 9, now you know where to find me

Up in the air, I'll be up in the air

Forget the round trip, give me a one way

Its been a year since the case of the Mondays
See my peers have the face of the mundane
I'm in a place you can taste all the sun rays

I'm feeling so high, higher than I've ever been, then again I've had that California medicine
Getting text from my hometown sweetheart, with a wallet full of hotel key cards
From where the sewer is, up to the stewardess, they ask me what I do

I'm in the music biz, I left the baggage home, I brought my luggage in
Me and my girl, we experiencing turbulence
This is my getaway, this is my everyday

Call me a superhero, I need to get a cape, strangers in paradise, it's time to get acquainted
We're sitting so close, I feel like we're related
Watch me kiss the sky, three hundred sixty-five

I got my boarding pass, waiting in the ticket line
I'm not a star yet but take gang of pictures, next time that I'm here, I'll be slightly bigger


I know it's been a really long time since you seen me
Up in the air, I've been up in the air
Chilling on cloud 9, now you know where to find me

Up in the air, I'll be up in the air
