24C don't believe in God
But he always prays when a thing takes off
And the grandma that is next to
Watches the windowAnd 3B's got her headphones on
Still not used to her daddy being gone
She gets to see him every 3 months
For a weekendJust people in planes17 A's in a exit row
Waiting for his Jack and coke to show
He's just wishing he wouldn't have
Settled so fast in collegeAnd I'm over here in the middle seat
Watching the world but half asleep
Wondering why there's never movies
On the ones I'm onAnd it occurs to me
Maybe I've got too much time to think
But it helps to be
Reminded how we'reJust people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
There's not a whole lotta differenceAt the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We're just people in planesHey, do you remember back when
Your dad could still lift you then
He'd pick you up and you'd think that you were flyingYou'd spread your arms and start to laugh
Do you remember how to laugh like that?
Why does that make me feel like crying?We're just people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
Not a whole lotta differenceAt the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
Just people in planesThe girl in front of me is spilling her guts
To some lady she's never met and never gonna see again
It's being weighing for a long time on her conscienceThere's seat kickers and loud talkers, honeymoon lovers
Several in the back there, looking hung over
Must be coming back from Mexico or VegasJust people in planes
When it comes down to it
We're side by side, on the same ride
Not a whole lotta differenceAt the end of the day
Just wanna know it's gonna be okay
Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We are all waiting on somebody we can't see to land this thing
We're just people in planes, just people in planes
