Always In the Air

You slip and turn like a falling leaf
I thought forever was what you'd mean
But I found out, you were just turning 'round again
As it turns out, you're not so grounded

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

Falling for you changed my whole world
But somehow I was just another girl
Your fickle heart, tore mine apart on accident
You changed your mind, one more time as you fell

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

And by the time you see what you've lost
I'll be happy again and moved on
All your regret, will just spin you 'round again
But no more content, with just falling I'll be held

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

And when you finally hit the ground
And gather to you all the bits you've found
You'll wonder if, you'd do it all again like you did
'Cause your magic faded, as you exchanged me for the wind

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful
