The runway lights are gleaming
I'm counting more takeoffs than landings and I think it's only going to get better
The flight attendant glides through the aisles and asks whether it'll be "water or coke"
and you can count on everything feeling just right before you hit the ground
the old couple in the front is fast asleep and young children gently nustle their heads against their mother
I've been trying hard to find someone to give these memories to
but no one seems to notice that I've been here since the layover in chicago
but it's alright and I'm going to be just fine
We're at the end of the flight and light's giving way to night
but no one's realized it yet and as the sun screams through the windows I'm ready to jump and fly through the atmosphere until I reach the beginning again..
