| [00:37.184] | Watching the planes land over the bay |
| [00:45.433] | I wish they could hang in the air forever |
| [00:55.103] | Holding the patterns for days |
| [01:02.808] | I hope they (hope they, hope they) will be delayed forever |
| [01:30.302] | Standing alone at the gate, she's late |
| [01:42.971] | She's miles above somewhere, hovering |
| [01:50.848] | Why won't you write? Write me a word to say |
| [01:59.929] | Tell me you miss my ways, tell me you miss my face |
| [02:09.702] | I never meant to clip your pretty wings |
| [02:18.545] | Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings |
| [02:27.451] | And you always knew it, you saw right through it |
| [02:31.536] | So why'd you have to go? |
| [03:10.960] | Standing still at the gate, and I ache (I ache I ache) |
| [03:22.850] | My palms are like lakes rising |
| [03:28.769] | The wheels drop and she starts to descend |
| [03:36.230] | And the runway will light her way as she starts hovering |
| [03:44.923] | And when she lands, I race for the crashing ground |
| [03:57.893] | The oxygen from the mask, that only words mark the past |
| [04:07.822] | I never meant to clip your pretty wings |
| [04:16.689] | Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings |
| [04:24.602] | We'll be alright, we'll be alright |
| [04:33.212] | We'll be alright, we'll be alright |
| [04:42.999] | And you always knew it, you saw right through it |
| [04:48.014] | So why'd you have to...? |
