(Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or plane?
Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or plane?)

[Verse 1]
What happened to the boy I knew?
He promised me his love was true
Supposed to be a man but his little planet fell through
The one who used to tell me jokes
Was popular with all my folks
Had everybody fooled 'cause he was so cool
Now it's up in smoke
What happened to my childhood dream?
Your language, I no longer speak
How come you never talk to me and
My telephone never rings

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I'd known that you would mean
To let me go, I was oblivious
You were up on a pedestal
And I could not reel you in

[Chorus]
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breathe
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
But you work hard in the clouds
And I was left on the ground
(Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or plane?
Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or plane?)

[Verse 2]
What happened to the boy I knew?
The one I thought had hung the moon
Supposed he was a man but one stroke of
His hand and I'm painted blue
What happened to the childhood dream?
Your language, I no longer speak
How come you never talk to me?
And my telephone never rings

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I'd known that you would mean
To let me go
I was oblivious
You were up on a pedestal
And I could not reel you in

[Chorus]
But you fell short
'Cause you needed lungs to breathe
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
But you were caught in the clouds
Oh, you fell short
'Cause you needed lungs to breathe
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
But you were caught in the clouds
[Bridge]
You can't read the thoughts
That form inside my head
And you aren't strong enough
To save my soul from dead
Then you can't keep my heart
From being ripped to shreds

I was wrong to alter reality
I made you some
Superman you couldn't be
All this time, oh, I truly did believe
That you got caught in the clouds

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you'd known that I would mean
To fall in love
Were you oblivious?
You were high in the atmosphere
I had disappeared below

[Chorus]
But you fell short
'Cause you needed lungs to breathe
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
But you were caught in the clouds
Oh, you fell short
'Cause you needed lungs to breathe
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
But you were caugheet in the clouds, oh
[Outro]
You got caught in the clouds, oh
And I don't know myself now, no

(Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or a plane?
Is it a bird or just a plane? Is it a bird or a plane?)
