Aeroplane - Shoes For Julia

I was done

I was taken by surprise

Blindsided again

Like a slap against my wrist

I could run way before I learned to walk

Now I’m crawling home on my knees in the dark

Can’t explain why things just happen

Can’t explain why sorrow gets me down

In a heartbeat, down in a flash

Going down fast like an aeroplane

Crash into me at the speed of light

You know I want you here tonight

Wake me up

Come and wash this day away

I could use a break

Please don’t leave me here alone

All I see are the ashes of my youth

When did we grow up?

Why did we get stuck?

Can’t explain why things just happen

Can’t explain why sorrow gets me down

In a heartbeat, down in a flash

Going down fast like an aeroplane

Crash into me at the speed of light

Crash into me with the force of thunder

This is the way we learn to fly

You know I want you

So let’s burn, burn, burn

Everything, everything

Want to burn, burn, burn

And start out from scratch again

If we burn, burn, burn

Everything, everything

Everything we’ve ever been

Can’t explain why things just happen

Can’t explain why sorrow gets me down

In a heartbeat, down in a flash

Going down fast like an aeroplane

Crash into me at the speed of light

Crash into me with the force of thunder

This is the way we learn to fly

You know I want you here tonight

I want you here tonight
