Airport

Airports

You little creep
That's what she said
These quotes from your mother
Get better every day
You'll be nothing, just like your father
At least that's what the kids at school say
And Jami 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
And 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 fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line
And you don't seem to mind
And we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
And we dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die"
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
But I'm not fighting a war
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 we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
And we dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die"
And I wish I had an airport, somedays
