Planes

You said "Honey come on over"
I'm already on my way

You met Jesus in October
Tripping almost every day

I crumpled up my fears
Stuffed them in your glove compartment

We talk the tears out of our eyes
Sat on the roof while planes went by

It's all symptom of your childhood
Jolts of joy and valleys of shy

Your father left when you were young, boy
Now you're stuck with his smile

But I don't think of you different
No, it's nothing new
There's a shared, shadowed past between me and you

I see the way you look at the sky like one day you'll reach it
But we can't fly

One day we'll run this town
Mandatory mid-day dance breaks and internet shutdowns

You said "hindsight's 20/20"
With your glasses in your hair

I catch a glimpse of yesterday
I'm looking around and no one's there

All our friends are philistines
Making numbers and staying mean

When a full meal is the enemy
You buy a sweater and some dopamine

But I don't think of you different
This is nothing new
I think it's something between me and you

I see the way you look at the sky like one day you'll reach it
But we can't fly

No we can't fly
No we can't fly, fly, fly

Like the planes in the sky

I look up sometimes when it's late at night
Knowing we can't fly
But we could try
