"Catch Me In The Air" lyrics

"Catch Me In The Air"

Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world?
Don't be scared
Well, hey there, little world are you ready for this girl?
Do you dare?
Only took nine months and a lot of love
Carried all our dreams and she's ready now, oooh
Hey there, little girl, don't you wanna see the world (Now let's go!)

I ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you put the wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge

So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying, I'm flying)

Twenty years all alone, bound together to the phone
Was it fate?
Watched you decorating all the walls
Made a prison of our home
No escape

When you ran away where clouds kiss the mountain peaks
I was afraid but you left your wings on me
Feet on the edge
Feet on the edge

So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now)
Catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
(Mama, look at me now, I'm flying)
So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air
The air

And they will never know
The fear of making a mistake
The risk you take, the pain you create
But mama look at us now
High above the clouds
Yeah, I hope that you're, hope that you're proud
(Air, air, air, air, air, air)

So catch me in the air (The air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
The air (So catch me in the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying
(Air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Mama, look at me now, I'm flying
The air, yeah (The air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air)
Save each other in every way
Feel the fears as we float in the sea
Look at us now, way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud
Save each other in every way
Feel the fear as we float in the sea
Look at us now
Way past the clouds that haunted your dreams
I hope that you're proud

"Catch Me In The Air" is the second single from Rina Sawayama's studio album "Hold The Girl". The song was premiered on June 27, 2022, accompanied by the official visualizer made of fan footage.
This single is a tribute to Rina Sawayama's mother. "I really wanted to write about this weird relationship with single parents," Sawayama said in a press release. "You do catch each other in the air."
Rina Sawayama co-wrote "Catch Me in the Air" with Oscar Scheller, Gracey, Clarence Clarity, and Stuart Price. "This was the first song that Stuart and I worked on together, and it was the most incredible experience. I'm such a huge fan of his work with Madonna and Kylie so it was a dream come true. We would send each other stock images of coastlines, people doing yoga on a pier, meditating in the middle of a field, hay bales, etc. to get inspired sonically."
This song was first performed live by Rina Sawayama at The Dynasty Tour, Glasgow, in 2021.
