Helicopter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Babe, without me you are just so defenseless
From motorbikes and girls who might try break your heart
So I'm pretty sure that I should make you breakfast
And then I should never leave the front seat of your car
You are important, so of course it maddens me
When you're nonchalant about your own mortality
Please be more careful when you cross the road
You're a perfect arrangement of rickety bones

[Chorus]
So forgive me, if I hover close
I'm a helicopter, 'cause I love you so
Oh, bear with me
Darling, you should know
I'm a helicopter, 'cause I love you so

[Verse 2]
It's not interfering if you can't be trusted
To treasure that heart like I do
Your sense of danger is antique and rusted
And mine's laser sharp, oh, when it comes to you
When you wait for a train, don't cross the yellow line
Don't run with scissors, and don't text and drive
Call me the minute you get to your dad's
I'll be worried all night and I won't wanna ask
[Chorus]
So forgive me, if I hover close
I'm a helicopter, 'cause I love you so
Oh, bear with me
Darling, you should know
I'm a helicopter, 'cause I love you so

[Post-Chorus]
So, so (Mmm-mmm)
So, so (Mmm-mmm)

[Outro]
Just forgive me, if I hover close
I'm a helicopter, 'cause I love you so

This was inspired by a line in the script where Nikki and Jason talk about being helicopters to each other. I thought, “Wow, you’ve made my job so much easier. I’m going to rip that.” It’s a song about being overbearing, because you love someone, and about being stubborn. There’s a lot of myself in this one, for sure. It was how I was feeling at the time, and I love the honesty in it. I’m really proud of it. It really feels like the inside of somebody’s heart to me. It’s very delicate.

Is there a live version?
