Aeroplane Lyrics

Once upon a time
I was rattling around
Like a songbird that you prized
But it never made a soundSomeone told me not to come
They told me not to look
But you know I never take advice
And one time is all it tookI 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 moonIt might seem ludicrous
I know it sounds clich
But when she walks into the room
She brings a brighter dayCan'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 sayI'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 WayBut 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 whilePerfect is a number
That you're not allowed to say
So when she put me on the spot
I quickly coined a phraseI 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.
