[00:00.461]You used to say, when I was down
[00:05.453]There's more to life outside this, white trash midwestern town
[00:12.953]You birthed the spark in my brain
[00:16.701]Said it'd be sunny, but that night it rained
[00:20.454]Wet shoes as I stepped on the plane
[00:24.700]Found my seat and closed the window shade
[00:28.707]I fell asleep and then awoke to a shake
[00:32.957]I overheard like they spoke my name
[00:36.451]The captain said, "It'll be a task to make it
[00:41.210]To LAX with a storm like this
[00:44.962]We'll try our best," he said with a nervous grin
[00:48.956]You could hear the breath, you could see the face
[00:52.961]Of a man who'd cut the tension if his hands didn't shake
[00:56.955]He's got a wife, two girls, and a home on the ground
[01:21.403]And the most disturbing part is they don't know it's going down
[01:30.341]I'll paint the sky you're flying
[01:33.335]Tired of the Earth of lying
[01:36.341]Lowering my eyes to see you
[01:44.341]Telling all the lies to be with you
[01:53.593]But not in the fire and not in the crash
[01:56.088]The weather, the storm, you say will land intact
[02:00.093]It's when he goes home that it becomes real
[02:03.833]There's a small part of him that resents the wheels
[02:07.839]He hates the wings and the bolts that hold them
[02:11.846]Together like promises they never told him
[02:15.838]He thinks they deserve the same life that he had
[02:19.844]He wished the ****ing engine would've blown to pieces
