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
