Andrew Peterson - The Thing About Airplanes lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - The Thing About Airplanes lyrics]
I left on a jet plane for faraway lands
And my expectations are much less than grand
'Cause, I'm sitting here next
To this overdressed man
And I only want you next to me
Well you know I love flying
especially at night
And I asked for the window but I got the eye
And I'm grumbling next to
This overdressed guy
And I only want you next to me
Yes I only want you next to me
Now this high road I've taken
This distance that kills
Would be easier traveled if not for thе guilt
'Cause it ain't circumstances that
Drove us to this
No, I chosе to be flyin' away
But that really don't matter that much
I suppose in light of the distance
Between us that grows
'Cause, I'm here and you're there now
And all that I know
Is I don't want to be on this plane
No, I don't want to be on this plane
Now these clouds appear solid but
The plane barrels through
An illusion of substance without any truth
So I'll rest on Your wings, Lord
And savor the view
And I won't let my fear in the way
And I'll try to consider it
Joy while I'm here 'Cause, I read that I'm
Blessed if I persevere
God fashions a crown from the
Pain and the tears
And He carries us all of the way
Oh, yes He carries me all of the way
Now the thing about airplanes
I noticed this time
Is you can't look ahead and
You can't look behind
But, you can see where you are
When you look out the side
You can try to recover some peace
In these thunderhead mountains
All cottony white
The works of my Maker, I'm flying beside
But, I can't hardly see
Past this overdressed guy
Oh, I only want you next to me
Jamie, I only want you next to me
And my expectations are much less than grand
'Cause, I'm sitting here next
To this overdressed man
And I only want you next to me
Well you know I love flying
especially at night
And I asked for the window but I got the eye
And I'm grumbling next to
This overdressed guy
And I only want you next to me
Yes I only want you next to me
Now this high road I've taken
This distance that kills
Would be easier traveled if not for thе guilt
'Cause it ain't circumstances that
Drove us to this
No, I chosе to be flyin' away
But that really don't matter that much
I suppose in light of the distance
Between us that grows
'Cause, I'm here and you're there now
And all that I know
Is I don't want to be on this plane
No, I don't want to be on this plane
Now these clouds appear solid but
The plane barrels through
An illusion of substance without any truth
So I'll rest on Your wings, Lord
And savor the view
And I won't let my fear in the way
And I'll try to consider it
Joy while I'm here 'Cause, I read that I'm
Blessed if I persevere

And He carries us all of the way
Oh, yes He carries me all of the way
