Let's see how far I'm off

 

 

O(Fly On)

 

A flock of birds

Harboring/hovering above

Just a flock of birds

(How I think of love? )

 

And I always

Look up to the sky

And before the dawn

And still I always

Sometimes they (all?)

Sometimes they are all gone

 

A flock of birds

Harboring above

(In a smoke of time?)

(Rise?)

(Following them up?)

Still I always

Look up to the sky

(Breathe before the dawn?)

As they fly away

(The minute they arrive?)

Next you know they are gone

Fly on

A review of one of the LA secret shows said that O had the lyric "Maybe one day, I’ll fly next to you"

I didn't hear that. Maybe that's in another verse. We only heard about 2-3 verses.

Flock of birds

Hovering above

Just a flock of birds

That's how you think of love

 

It starts with this IMHO :)

A flock of birds

Hovering above

Just a flock of birds

Is how you think of love

 

And I always

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

And I always

Sometimes they arrive

Sometimes they are gone

Fly on

 

A flock of birds

Hovering above

In a smoke of time, rise (unsure)

Following them up

Still I always

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

As they fly away

One minute they arrive

Next you know they're gone

Fly on

 

 

 

 

I thought the unsure part was "In unspoken terms" but putting on headphones doesn't sound like it anymore

These are actually the lyrics for Fly On. :) O has no lyrics afaik.

According to Zane's interview, it has:

 

-This song, O... is... you said I'd be very kind. This isn't just a stunning record.

-Thanks man

-And lyrically you've just nailed it.

-Thank you

I'd go for:

 

A flock of birds

Look up to the sky

Sometimes they are gone

Fly on

Agreed on the first verse. I'm not convinced about "And/Breathe" before the dawn, I'd say it's "Pray" in the third verse, just as jc90 wrote.

Agreed on both ;) Pray makes more sense

The TRACK has, yes.

 

That's how I understand it in any case. :)

And I always

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

'Cause they fly always

Sometimes they arrive

Sometimes they are gone

They fly on

 

A flock of birds

Hovering above

Into smoke i'm turned and rise

Following them up

 

Still I always

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

'Cause they fly away

One minute they arrive

Next you know they're gone

They fly on

Fly on

 

So fly on, ride through

Maybe one day i'll fly next to you

So fly on, ride through

Maybe one day i'll fly next to you

Fly on

O DON'T EVER LET GO

^This is stunningly beautiful!

Man that song is beautiful . I think he did exactly what his intentions for the song were . Unconditional love. The end is so hopeful. I just can't wait to hear this song as the ending to this album .

*sobs quietly in the corner*

 

This song is freaking SAD T__________T

I'd say i'm Jonny. Trying to keep it together, then it all comes out in one big sob

I was waiting for this. Thanks for the official lyrics. This song is sad as hell. I hope he flies next to her someday! :(

My too.. feels like too much love for someone to not be able to enjoy it... sigh

All my hype for this album is invested into this song.

So "O" is not precisely an instrumental but rather a track where Chris sings: "Don't ever let go". Right?

Chris broke the news to the band about Gwen. HA!

 

Either that or they found out there were no m&m's in the green room.

That was during the MX era. They appeared in Saturday Night Live. It was a joke! It was their reaction to an Adele song (Someone Like You), I think! Here is a video, although the boys do not appear on this cut.
