[00:01.53]You used to say, when I was down
[00:05.78]There's more to life outside this, white trash midwestern town
[00:12.78]You birthed the spark in my brain
[00:16.84]Said it'd be sunny, but that night it rained
[00:20.43]Wet shoes as I stepped on the plane
[00:24.50]Found my seat and closed the window shade
[00:28.74]I fell asleep and then awoke to a shake
[00:32.45]I overheard like they spoke my name
[00:36.42]The captain said, "It'll be a task to make it
[00:40.71]To LAX with a storm like this
[00:44.61]We'll try our best," he said with a nervous grin
[00:48.72]You could hear the breath, you could see the face
[00:52.65]Of a man who'd cut the tension if his hands didn't shake
[00:56.66]He's got a wife, two girls, and a home on the ground
[01:00.61]And the most disturbing part is they don't know it's going down
[01:20.82]I'll paint the sky you're flying
[01:28.32]Tired of the Earth of lying
[01:36.10]Lowering my eyes to see you
[01:43.95]Telling all the lies to be with you
[01:51.84]But not in the fire and not in the crash
[01:55.57]The weather, the storm, you say will land intact
[01:59.64]It's when he goes home that it becomes real
[02:03.36]There's a small part of him that resents the wheels
[02:07.69]He hates the wings and the bolts that hold them
[02:11.57]Together like promises they never told him
[02:15.89]He thinks they deserve the same life that he had
[02:19.85]He wished the ****ing engine would've blown to pieces
