All around the world statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everywhere I go people stop and they see
Twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul

I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby

Dance a little stranger, show me where you've been
Love can make you hostage wanna do it again
There's no time to think about the starting or the end
We'll find out I'm told, my mother she told me so

I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just want to fly
I just want to fly

All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everyone I know has been so good to me
Twenty-five years old, my mother God rest her soul

I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly

    My Opinion:A song doesn't have to mean anything.
    It just is . . .

    It's just there to listen to, and enjoy for whatever it may be.
    However you take it.

    You can decide to dislike, 'cause of what you've made it up to be in your head,
    Or change it into a catchy melody you can enjoy.

    It's up to you.
    As for me, I won't waste my time bashing on something,
    That won't change just 'cause I'm bashing.

    I'd rather let it make my mood better, than worse.
    Why not brighten?
    Instead of being pissy?

    There're enough people out there pissin' on the happiness.

    General Comment:When I realized that I knew all the lyrics, I simultaneously realized that it's a song about nothing.

    My Interpretation:Hes in love with. Shes different and its been an ongoing thing for him.

    everywhere I go people stop and they see
    twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul <---- I don't think it's his mothers death. Pretty sure it's the marriage..

    Shes unsure.

    he just wants to be in love and hes sick of her waiting to "figure shit out."

    General Comment:This song means so much to me. It was the reason that I bought the TAPE! LOL. But when I popped it into the tape deck in my car, I heard RPM, and had to take the tape out to make sure I had the right tape. It blew my mind. I actually love the kind of music that is mainly featured on Floored, so it was a pleasure to hear that coming from my speakers. I have EVERYTHING they have put out, and while I prefer the L&B and Floored era, I still love the band, and that may be because I see them live every chance I get, and I see how they are personally evolving into people that they were not back then. They really have grown. And live, they play the old stuff.

    General Comment:This song kinda annoys me too, but I always thought he sang "25 years old, my mother's got a breast to sow" :-o Hehe.
    Either way, sang it to his grandma, eh? Anyone got any interpretations? :-/
