I've got my things, I'm good to go You met me at the terminal Just one more plane ride and it's done
We stood like statues at the gate Vacation's come and gone too late There's so much sun where I'm from I had to give it away, had to give you away
And we spent four days on an Island at your family's old hotel Sometimes perfection can be It can be perfect hell, perfect...
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised And don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle I take my pills, the babies cry All I hear is what's playing through the in-flight radio Now every word of every song I ever heard that made me wanna stay Is what's playing through the in-flight radio, And I, and I am, finally waking up
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised And don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah
So read your books, but stay out late Some nights, some nights and don't think that you can't stop by the bar You haven't shown your face here since the bad news Well, I'm here 'til close with fingers crossed Each night cause your place isn't far
And hours pass, hours pass
Yeah, yeah, she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised And don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised
