lyrics

Get to the airport two hours early
Security is a bitch
Stuck in a middle seat
No one wants to switch
Crying baby in front of me
Snoring guy behind
Can't get comfortable, can't relax
Peace and quiet I just can't find

Miles and miles between us
Flying the friendly skies
Doesn't seem so friendly
Without you by my side

I felt violated when they searched my every cavity
But I'll be disintegrated if this plane succumbs to gravity
Blue Chips, cookies, peanuts and crackers
Downed with a white wine chaser
The stewardess knew it was me in the bathroom
And when I came out I couldn't face her

Miles and miles between us
Flying the friendly skies
Doesn't seem so friendly
Without you by my side

I love to fly away in the clouds
And know that I'm heading home
But I've been up in the air so long
I looked at the wing and I swear I saw a gnome
I can't wait to get home to you
And see your beautiful face
Wrap myself around you
And fly away to a happier place

Miles and miles between us
Flying the friendly skies
Doesn't seem so friendly
Without you by my side
