International Airport Songtext

von Carbon Leaf

Wide awake
I'm on a plane out of town
Fly away
From the weight of the world
On the ground

I'm international
But I don't know where to go
Hopefully where summer days
Can melt these winter bones
I'm international
And you're orbiting my brain
I'm reduced to writing nothing
All over napkins on the plane

Wide awake
I'm on a plane out of town
Taking pictures of myself
In the mirror on wall
Trying hard not to make my space
The loneliest place of all

Early warning all across the sky
Clouds are rolling in on your light
Any change from here would be
The wisest change of all
Any place from here up here
Would be the finest place to fall

Wide awake
I'm on a plane out of town
I'm losing track of myself
On all the time zone lines
And if I daylight save
Do I jump ahead or fall behind?

And I'm fine 'cause I know
Any plane I ride
Can fly me home
And I'm fine 'cause I know

You know, I know
It's easy to see
Clouds were built for dreams
Because nothing up there
Is as easy as it seems
I step out
And try to walk around
As I fall, I look up
And wonder why it let me down
I'm international
That's twice the speed of sound
I just hope I take off from here
Before I hit the ground

If I could get to heaven
By an airplane in the sky
We would always be in love
And we would always love to fly

Wide awake
I'm on a plane out of town
Taking pictures of myself
In the mirror on wall
Trying hard not to make my space
The loneliest place of all

And I'm fine 'cause I know
Any plane I ride
Can fly me home
And I'm fine 'cause I know

You know, I know

And I'm fine 'cause I know
Any plane I ride
Can fly me home
And I'm fine 'cause I know
Any plane I ride
Can fly me home

You know, I know
You know, I know
