Empty sidewalks 
 Just a stray dog 
 A plastic sky
 
 I should slow down 
 For the countdown 
 Our chapter’s filed
 
 I’m a footnote in your book 
 A catcher in the rye 
 But I still want to be with you 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 
 The silver lining 
 Is not so shiny 
 Anymore
 
 I look at clouds from 
 Both sides now more 
 Than before
 
 I’m a footnote in your book 
 A catcher in the rye 
 But I still want to be with you 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 
 You wanted nothing 
 But you found something
 
 I can’t afford to 
 Still adore you 
 But I do
 
 It’s a copout 
 Now you’re eastbound 
 And we’re through
 
 I’m a footnote in your book 
 A catcher in the rye 
 But I still want to be with you 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 Beneath the plastic sky 
 Beneath the plastic sky
