Planes Lyrics

You said "Honey come on over"

I'm already on my way

You met Jesus in October

Tripping almost every day

I crumpled up my fears

Stuffed them in your glove compartment

We talk the tears out of our eyes

Sat on the roof while planes went by

It's all symptom of your childhood

Jolts of joy and valleys of shy

Your father left when you were young, boy

Now you're stuck with his smile

But I don't think of you different

No, it's nothing new

There's a shared, shadowed past between me and you

I see the way you look at the sky like one day you'll reach it

But we can't fly

One day we'll run this town

Mandatory mid-day dance breaks and internet shutdowns

You said "hindsight's 20/20"

With your glasses in your hair

I catch a glimpse of yesterday

I'm looking around and no one's there

All our friends are philistines

Making numbers and staying mean

When a full meal is the enemy

You buy a sweater and some dopamine

But I don't think of you different

This is nothing new

I think it's something between me and you

I see the way you look at the sky like one day you'll reach it

But we can't fly

No we can't fly

No we can't fly, fly, fly

Like the planes in the sky

I look up sometimes when it's late at night

Knowing we can't fly

But we could try
