[Verse 1]
Just before the afternoon creeps in
Just before it gets too hot to be outside
I like to lay on my back in the grass and
Watch the airplanes go by and I dream that
You are an airplane shooting across the sky

[Chorus]
You are an airplane, you're a strong and dangerous machine
When you fall you'll fall down so fast
When you crash I want to go down with you
We'll make such a horrible mess

[Verse 2]
Just before the floating eyeball appears
Just before the little birds go to sleep
I like to stand on my head and pretend
That I am a control tower and that you are an airplane
And I can talk you safely to the ground

[Chorus]
You are an airplane, you're a strong and dangerous machine
When you fall you'll fall down so fast
When you crash I want to go down with you
We'll make such a horrible mess
[Bridge]
The way you live your life makes me nervous, if you were to die
I'd have no reason to be alive 'cause you are my only friend

[Chorus]
You are an airplane, you're a strong and dangerous machine
When you fall you'll fall down so fast
When you crash I want to go down with you
We'll make such a horrible mess
