Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You've been taking your time

And you've been living on solid air

You've been walkin' the line

You've been living on solid air, yeah

Don't know what going wrong inside

And I can't tell you that it's hard to hide

When you're livin' on solid air

[Verse 2]

You've been painting it blue

And you've been lookin' through solid air

You've been seein' it though

And you've been lookin' through solid air

Don't know what going wrong in your mind

And I can tell you don't like what you find

When you're movin' through solid air, solid air

[Verse 3]

I know you, I love you, and I could be your friend

I could follow you anywhere

Even through solid air

[Verse 4]

You've been stoning it cold

You've been living on solid air

You've been finding that gold

You've been living on solid air

I don't know what going on inside

I can tell you that it's hard to hide

When you're living on solid air, solid air

[Verse 5]

You've been getting too deep

You've been living on solid air

You've been missing your sleep

And you've been moving through solid air

I don't know what's going on in your mind

But I know you don't like what you find

When you're moving through solid air, solid air

[Verse 6]

I know you, I love you

I'll be your friend

I could follow you anywhere

Even through solid air

[Verse 7]

You've been walking your line

You've been walking on solid air

You've been taking your time

But you've been walking on solid air

Don't know what going wrong inside

But I can tell you that it's hard to hide

When you're living on solid air, solid air

[Verse 8]

Been painting it blue

You've been living on solid air

You've been seein' it though

And you've been living on solid air

I don't know what going wrong in your mind

But I know you don't like what you find

When you're living on solid air, solid air

[Verse 9]

I know you, I love you

And I'll be your friend

I could follow you anywhere

Even through solid air

[Verse 10]

Ice blue solid air

Oh, nice blue solid air
