Private Pilot Lyrics

You may have failed, you may have fallen

In a spiral down from the sky

Breathe in and exhale, no matter what happens

Complete things in your own time

And plans may stall a week or a season

Might be a blessing in disguise

Clear plan withdrawal happens for a reason

Steep turns, a new plan for life

When the weather won't cooperate

When people say it's not your day

Always a few more steps to take

You need to give yourself a break

And follow your compass

It leads you where home is

Someday you will look back

And we'll both have a laugh

December 30th

You got what you wanted

And you texted me one minute

You're talking to the world's newest private pilot

Wish you started when you were younger

Darling there's still plenty of time

Brokenhearted, flight school will take longer

You can't wait to work for an airline

And on Monday we went up together

You showed me all that you've learned

Up in a plane, finally good weather

Gave me a tour and did a maneuver

You see how tests are haunted and

Ghosts of your past failed tests laugh

Until you reclaim it back

You need to cut yourself some slack

And follow your compass

It leads you where home is

Someday you will look back

And we'll both have a laugh

December 30th

You got what you wanted

And you texted me one minute

You're talking to the world's newest private pilot

Obstacles and bridges and

Tests and failures, winners and

You can do it, I know you can

Proud is an understatement

So go

And follow your compass

It leads you where home is

Someday you will look back

And we'll both have a laugh

December 30th

You got what you wanted

And you texted me one minute

You're talking to the world's newest private pilot

December 30th

You got what you wanted

Mr. Private Pilot

Guess what?

Yeah you did it
