International Airport - Carbon Leaf

Wide awake

I’m on a plane out of town

Fly away

From the weight of the world

On the ground

I’m international

But I don’t know where to go

Hopefully where summer days

Can melt these winter bones

I’m international

And you’re orbiting my brain

I’m reduced to writing nothing

All over napkins on the plane

Wide awake

I’m on a plane out of town

Taking pictures of myself

In the mirror on wall

Trying hard not to make my space

The loneliest place of all

Early warning all across the sky

Clouds are rolling in on your light

Any change from here would be

The wisest change of all

Any place from here up here

Would be the finest place to fall

Wide awake

I’m on a plane out of town

I’m losing track of myself

On all the time zone lines

And if I daylight save

Do I jump ahead or fall behind?

And I’m fine 'cause I know

Any plane I ride

Can fly me home

And I’m fine 'cause I know

You know, I know

It’s easy to see

Clouds were built for dreams

Because nothing up there

Is as easy as it seems

I step out

And try to walk around

As I fall, I look up

And wonder why it let me down

I’m international

That’s twice the speed of sound

I just hope I take off from here

Before I hit the ground

If I could get to heaven

By an airplane in the sky

We would always be in love

And we would always love to fly

Wide awake

I’m on a plane out of town

Taking pictures of myself

In the mirror on wall

Trying hard not to make my space

The loneliest place of all

And I’m fine 'cause I know

Any plane I ride

Can fly me home

And I’m fine 'cause I know

You know, I know

And I’m fine 'cause I know

Any plane I ride

Can fly me home

And I’m fine 'cause I know

Any plane I ride

Can fly me home

You know, I know

You know, I know
