Aeroplane

Once upon a time

I was rattling around

Like a songbird that you prized

But it never made a sound

Someone told me not to come

They told me not to look

But you know I never take advice

And one time is all it took

I thought hey, I'd treat you like an aeroplane

I'd feed you clouds and vapor trails

We'd go for walks on Everest

We would sleep underneath

The watchful eye of the crescent moon

It might seem ludicrous

I know it sounds cliché

But when she walks into the room

She brings a brighter day

Can't help but watch her every move

While I pretend to look away

Smitten, bound and gagged

But if I got the chance I'd say

I'd say, "Hey, I'll treat you like an aeroplane"

I'll catch you like a falling star

I'll be your hero astronaut

And we'll sleep underneath

The waterfall of the Milky Way

But if I wait a little while

I might find the nerve

To find the words to say to her

I find the timing's right

To wait a little while, a little while

Perfect is a number

That you're not allowed to say

So when she put me on the spot

I quickly coined a phrase

I said, "Hey, I'll treat you like an aeroplane"

I'll feed you clouds and vapor trails

We'll go for walks on Everest

And we'll sleep underneath the waterfall

Yeah, we'll sleep underneath

The watchful eye of the crescent moon.
