Airports Lyrics

Airports

You little creep,
That's what she said, these quotes from your mother,
get better every day. 
And you'll be nothing, just like your father,
at least that's what the kids at school say. 

And Jamie spent her Christmas at the Airport,
She said planes made her feel like she could get away.
And I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport...
Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard 

And we hung like space stations and rocketships 
And dreamed like we were things of the sky 
We dressed like kings and queens and lovers 
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die" 
And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call 
And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full 
And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time 
And that f**king phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line. 
(And you don't seem to mind) 

And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer,
knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around.
And they say children make the greatest soldiers,
they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground.
And it seems to me that we'd been here before 

Where were you when I was at the airport, 
where were you when i wanted to fly 
Tell me where you were when i was at the airport,
these planes fall from the sky. 

And I wish I had an airport, somedays 
Cause some days are just so hard.
