And we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
We dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die."

And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call
And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full
And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time
And that phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line.
And you don't seem to mind

And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer, knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around. And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. And it seems to me that we'd been here before

Where were you when I was at the airport,
where were you when i wanted to fly?
Tell me where you were when i was at the airport, these planes fall from the sky.

And I wish I had an airport, some days
Cause some days are just so hard.
