Takeoffs and Landings Lyrics

On this coldest of January nights
We're trying to pa*s the runway, and watch the planes go flying by
The runway lights are the deepest blue, like the color of your eyes
So, close them tight and kiss me one last time

If you could go anywhere right now,
Where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be
Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Ask for customs, carry-on, remember
To shut off all of your electronic devices
Fell asleep on Tuesday, woke up Monday afternoon
I slept right through your international dateline

If you could go anywhere right now,
Where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be
Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here
