Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness - Airports lyrics

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 pa** the time And that f**ing 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 'Cause some days are just so hard...
