The Take Off and Landing of Everything

On this coldest of January nights We drive out past the runway and watch the planes go flying by The runway lights are the deepest blue like the colors of your eyes So close them tight and kiss me one last time If you could go anywhere right now Where would you go? And would you miss me when you get there? There's no place that I would rather be Please don't let me go falling from the sky The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here Passport, customs, carry on, remember To shut off all of your electronic devices Fell asleep on Tuesday woke up Monday afternoon I slept right through your International Date Line If you could go anywhere right now Where would you go? And would you miss me when you get there? There's no place that I would rather be Please don't let me go falling from the sky The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here Please don't let me go falling from the sky The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here
