The Runway

Run away plane One hand In the window pane Touch me Run away plane A one way flight You and I The distance between us I told you I’d hold you Don’t you run away plane Why don’t you hug me Why don’t you reach for me Maybe there’s a breeze And you can touch me Just one last time I burn fear A candle unlit As you lay your thoughts Across an empty seat On a runaway plane One hand In the window pane Touch me Run away plane A one way flight You and I The distance between us I told you I’d hold you Don’t you run away plane Distractions Aren’t the worst thing Usually It’s the scenes that change Through the windows Chasing the air you left Champagne, no ice I want to live this night Seattle winds DC Bound The only one In the airport lounge Don’t wash away
