airplane

Airplane

in an airplane i take the window seat
a thousand feet and all i know shrinks in minutes and when the sky is gray i want to believe that when the sun is hiding it still exists

in an airplane are kings and common men
at the window side my side their view is now the same
some relax and rest their eyes
some sit on the edge
as we all break through the clouds into the light of day

mountain tops peak through
this is where i see you
i've never seen a clearer blue
this is where i see you

leave behind your busy life all you have is who you are s
pace like this is hard to find so breathe it in
someone will say, "where are you headed?"
and it might be the first time you ever thought about it

mountain tops peak through this is where i see you
i've never seen a clearer blue this is where i see you

a baby's talking two rows behind me
the sun just set for the second time today
you seem to use the smallest things around me t
o get me to this place

mountain tops peak through
this is where i see you
i've never seen a clearer blue
this is where i see you
