People In Planes
.
24C don't believe in God
But he always prays when a thing takes off
And the grandma that he's next to
Watches the window
.
And 3B's got her headphones on
Still not used to her daddy being gone
She gets to see him every 3 months
For the weekend
.
Just people in planes
.
17A's in an exit row
Waiting for his Jack and Coke to show
He's just wishing he wouldn't have
Settled so fast in college
.
And I'm over here in the middle seat
Watching the world but half asleep
Wondering why there's never movies
On the ones I'm on
.
And it occurs to me
Maybe I've got too much time to think
But it helps to be
Reminded how we're
.
Just people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
There's not a whole lotta difference
.
At the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We're just people in planes
.
Hey, do you remember back when
Your dad could still lift you then
He'd pick you up and you'd think that you were flying
.
You'd spread your arms and start to laugh
Do you remember how to laugh like that?
Why does that make me feel like crying?
.
We're just people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
Not a whole lotta difference
At the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
Just people in planes
.
The girl in front of me is spilling her guts
To some lady she's never met and never gonna see again
It's been weighing for a long time on her conscience
.
There's sear kickers and loud talkers, honeymoon lovers
Several in the back there, looking hung over
Must be coming back from Mexico or Vegas
.
Just people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
Not a whole lotta difference
At the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We are all waiting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We're just people in planes
.
Just people in planes...
