Lyrics
Airplanes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The desk where you sit inside of a
Frame made of wood
I keep those chopsticks you had from when
You taught abroad in Japan
I love it all so much
I call I want you back
I did not know you as well
As my father knew you
Every question you took the
Time to sit and look it up in the
Encyclopedia
I love it all so much
I call I want you back
It sounds like we
Would of had a great deal to say
To each other
I bet when I leave
My body for the sky the wait will
Be worth it
I love it all so much
I call I want you back
