Lights - Up Up And Away Lyrics






We had a rocket
That fell out of orbit
We couldn't stop it
We couldn't control it

We ran a good course
It was a good flight
But I felt the hard force
Holding me too tight

We are rockets in the sky
We are planets passing by
Up up and away
Forget me
Go your own way

Sometimes a heart cools
After the heat goes
And sometimes the mind fools
Only the body knows

We are rockets in the sky
We are planets passing by
Up up and away
Forget me
Go your own way

Up up and away [repeat]

We are rockets in the sky
We are planets passing by
Up up and away
Forget me
Go your own way

We are rockets in the sky
We are planets passing by
Up up and away
Forget me
Go your own way

Up up and away [repeat]

    N.... N....

    Nida Naseer

    Ikr! It should totally be on Spotify :(

  6. K.... D....

    Pink’s new song sounds exactly like this

    K.... D....

    I thought it had some similarities too. Especially with the rockets part. Glad I'm not the only one who sort of thought that

  7. A.... Z....

    Reminds me of all my failed friendships.

  8. t.... i....

    2:01 and 2:22 really get me. it reminds me of when I used to live in the city, and I'd wander around at 2-3 AM, with my friend Serenity, looking up at the orange streetlights and talking about being friends forever.

  9. s.... ....

    One of my favourite Lights songs, and it isn't on Spotify :(

    s.... ....

    simplylogan93

    Ikr same! I tried looking for it on Spotify but then I got disappointed that it wasn’t there. I guess that’s why the title of this video ends with (Bonus Track)

  10. P.... G....

    reminds me of someone i used to be in love with.. then we took different ways.. we are planets passing by :)

  11. M.... ....

    This song is NOT about Rocket....

  12. S.... B....

    Reminds me of my high school days ❤❤❤

  13. S.... J....

    Everytime i think about this song, i think about my best friend i had like a few years ago, and even after all this time i miss him so much :'(

    S.... J....

    I´m not asking for your pity, or your opinion at all infact, and i am done with this conversation because arguing online is pointless.

    S.... J....

    i feel the same way about this one girl but things are long over.

    S.... J....

    Yeah same for me :/ it sucks when people leave your life.

    S.... J....

    +Sara Johnson I know someone that i rlly thought she was my best friend... we would spend the whole day together, and i rlly thought she was my friend... but we have not talked to each other for like quite a few months and when i call her i seem rejected... so i dont even know if shes rlly my friend anymore *sigh* SO... i totally know what it feels like to loose someone....

    L.... T....

    Rocket’s a girl? But super cute anyways! I love that kid.

    L.... T....

    Lights Targaryen Lights wrote this song when she was 18... that was long before she even met Beau. This song has absolutely nothing to do with her daughter. She even tweeted that she came up with the name "Rocket" during a show in Vancouver near the end of 2013.

  25. A.... ....

    I just recently started liking LIGHTS and she's absolutely amazing! Omg tho, seriously where was I?

  26. E.... M....

    she's alright I liked her in don't don't go

  27. s.... h....

    this song is good!

  28. h.... ....

    I played this song right after Futurama aired its last episode tonight.
    All of my feels...

  29. H.... ....

    Ahhh, that might be why. But yeah, at least you do have it here! :)

  30. a.... ....

    Trust me, you're not the only one ;n;

  31. H.... ....

    It was, it was the bonus track from iTunes. :)

  32. H.... F....

    Dress up Ether.
    Yep.

  33. C.... ....

    A cat dress up on Deviantart brought me here xD

  34. a.... ....

    Cool somg (:

  35. J.... B....

    amazing<3

  36. D.... D....

    One way I could relate to this song! Lets just say having a relationship by just communicating with texting, gets a bit old now and then, while someone you desperately care about is having a rough time, while their texting doesn't make such a turn out. So I decide to allow them to get a newer relationship with another, even when you become hesitant to the situation. Just let them go their own way, and let them be free, no matter how much you'd want hang onto them. (Corny stuff but meaningful)..

  37. L.... M....

    Beautiful

  38. k.... ....

    God I love this song.

  39. M.... M....

    i like how you can hear her smiling when she says "we ran a good course" : )

  40. M.... ....

    Oh my god this is cute.

  41. a.... ....

    if you're not true, you're nothing.

  42. H.... H....

    I kind of want a tattoo saying the line "we are planets passing by".

  43. R.... ....

    @Zeusandhades I heard it's pretty sad,not sure if I want to watch it. Nonetheless: Do you know of a stream where I could watch it? Live in Germany so no Netflix or stuff like that.

  44. K.... ....

    glad to know I managed to reach someone. thanks for considering it. it's good

  45. S.... C....

    whoa. ok. i shall check it out. thanks!

  46. K.... ....

    dude, if you get the chance, watch the film 5 Centimeters per Second. It's a wonderful film about what you just spoke. It's based off of a JPN saying: Cherry blossoms fall at 5 cm per second. People start out close and intertwined. As time passes, like cherry blossoms, people start to fall farther and farther apart....

  47. C.... M....

    I think it's about rockets in the sky.

  48. S.... Z....

    friendships or relationships. could be both cause she doesnt explicitly mention romantic love, friendship. any kind of -ship really.

  49. w.... ....

    My dad thinks it's about relationships. Like, "we had a rocket that fell out of robit, we couldn't stop it, we couldn't control it," They had a relationship, but it didn't work out, and "sometimes the heart cools after the heat goes, and sometimes the mind fools, only the body knows," Sometimes, with relationships, you forget about it and move on, but sometimes you think you still love him/her. But I like Stevintage's freindship interpretation better :3
    Nevertheless, it's an awesome song.

  50. E.... G....

    This song is the best. 'Nuff said* <3

  51. S.... C....

    awww... be strong like lights!

  52. N.... ....

    Yeah,friendship is that thing....

  53. M.... ....

    lol dont make stuff up.

  54. A.... R....

    I don't know but when ever i listen to Lights I have to have coffee its like a addiction so weird

  55. g.... n....

    awsome song people

  56. F.... ....

    Excellent explanation!

  57. s.... b....

    This song helped me Forget about my Ex-girlfriend of 7 years

  58. d.... ....

    This is by far the best song ever¡!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. w.... ....

    This song is by far the most amazing song i've ever heard in my life. It takes me to a completely different world, where the only thing that matters is me and Lights. You know how some people believe that heaven is whatever you want it to be? In my heaven, this song is playing over and over and over. <3

  60. D.... ....

    The perfect song to fall asleep too~

  61. K.... F....

    I haven't been feeling right lately, a lot of stress and moving pieces. This song makes me feel like everything will turn out okay

  62. D.... ....

    @Stevintage youve helped me look at friendship in a whole new way, its not about having friends that are guna be there forever, its also about meeting new and even losing old friends. thanks man, for opening my eyes

  63. A.... E....

    oo i like this song :D i seen lights in concert she was amazing

  64. z.... ....

    llol its called up up and away and its 4:20 long on the album lights i new u were a stoner :D

  65. E.... T....

    ALLAHU-AKBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  66. d.... ....

    Up, up and away? Obviously. ;)

  67. J.... J....

    Should have been a single- this song is supremely underrated :I

  68. V.... L....

    @saveme303 noooo i think you miss read what i said ...

  69. V.... L....

    this album is called the listening thats why she doesnt have a mouth she is listening not talking i read a comment wondering why she didnt have one

  70. T.... ....

    @voldemortsdick zomg, you're username is fabulous :3

  71. b.... ....

    wheres her nose?

  72. T.... ....

    i didnt know itunes had a bonus song version of her first album.

    this song is amazing, like all her other songs!

  73. L.... ....

    this song is sooooooooooo good!!

  74. l.... ....

    Where does this song come from?

  75. D.... B....

    <3

  76. r.... ....

    I think it's "we ran a good course" instead of "we were in a good course."

  77. Y.... ....

    @jasminconant Various synths, drums, etc...

  78. S.... C....

    to me, this song is about friendships that fade away (we are a rocket that fell out of orbit). Sometimes, friendships fade and it's not anyone's fault (we couldn't stop it, we couldn't control it), the spark dies. We ride a train and get off at our stop ( we ran a good course, it was a good flight...). We are all people that pass through other people's lives, but this song sounds like the singer has come to peace with that. The acoustic one sounds like the break up was more recent

  79. A.... R....

    Beginning Reminds of night time in a away

  80. S.... C....

    Just Amazing :)

  81. S.... M....

    What are the instruments in this?

  82. S.... ....

    @nataliev95 your right! My friends would hear the first few sings and then be like ew this sounds gay -.-.... and Im like wtf ? You didnt hear anything lol

  83. n.... ....

    @TheUFOeffect yea i think its good for people 2 like a variety of stuff i practically have 2 beg my friends 2 be more open minded and listen 2 different types of music. wish there were more people like us who can appreciate all sorts of music genres

  84. s.... 2....

    :D I LOVE HER I WANNA SEE HER I AM BUYING SIBERIA THE NEW ALBUM :D

  85. s.... 2....

    I LOVE LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  86. L.... ....

    Does anybody like ever think about how tiny our existence is? but like, we still manage to make such big changes, "we are rockets in the sky, we are planets in the sky." I don't know, i just love it(:

  87. f.... ....

    Since when is there a bonus track?D:

  88. n.... ....

    i heard of her from "dont go" by bring me the horizon n i think shes awesome i going 2 her concert soon :)

  89. M.... ....

    @simoninho9 this is a 4 year old song. so i think Lights beat him to it.

  90. g.... ....

    This reminds me of Rose and the Doctor. If you haven't watched Doctor Who (specifically the first and second seasons with the ninth and tenth doctors) basically Rose got trapped in a different dimension, and the Doctor had to leave her behind. She had her family but he was left to travel the universe alone.

  91. T.... J....

    This just made me cry. :')

  92. S.... ....

    the two top comments are so cheesey :')
