I Hate Airplanes

V6

Rolling off the road to the sky Six miles out, I’m chasing the roots I never been up this high You're always gone and never here I've got a long ways to go I've got a mountain to climb I can see you at the bottom of my heart Again and again and again But I can see us with the Windows down, kicking up the dust Like we’re running wild, like we’re chasing trust And I bet you don’t think about me Not the quicksand, not the stars, not the memories I’m wishing on airplanes instead But man, I hate airplanes. Moonlight dancing with the highlights of your car The night we carved our names in the sycamore tree Now it’s a mark, it's just a scar in the wood Like all the promises you never understood I’m sinking, sinking, hand in hand But you let go in that shifting sand. Windows down, kicking up the dust Like we’re running wild, like we’re chasing trust And I bet you don’t think about me Not the quicksand, not the stars, not the memories I’m wishing on airplanes instead But man, I hate airplanes. Practicing my goodbye, night after night But it always feels wrong, never feels right Chasing stars that burned out long ago Holding on to what I should’ve let go I should have said no Now we just pulled in the drive it felt like I was stabbed with a knife You only gave me a high five You said you're never coming back You were the only thing I had And I bet you don’t think about me I’m wishing on airplanes instead You've torn my heart to shreds I guess I have to and I don't want to I'm finally getting over you But man, I hate airplanes
