lyrics

I'm getting itchy feet
I'm packing up my things
And moving to the airport
I wanna live near the sky
I wanna love where there is a guy
To take care of my luggage
And eat my meals in the food court
Cause I know that I could eat more
Burger King than you would probably think
I'd spend my nights on the rows of chairs
While listening to planes take to the air
The engines sound like lullabies

My family used to have picnics
By the Runway at PDX
Watching people traveling distances
Greater than I'd ever been from home.

What a pain, that TSA screening
But it sure beats dying screaming
Guess you'll buy new razors when you land
And remember this flight has WI-FI
You should use it to text your wife,
I'm sure she'd like to know that you're alright
Hello this is your captain Speaking
If you find your oxygen's leaking
Breathe in through the mask that's gonna fall down from the ceiling
And remember your seat cushion's buoyant too
So when we crash it'll carry you
To somewhere on the coastline

My family used to have picnics
By the Runway at PDX
Watching people traveling distances
Greater than I'd ever been from home.

I know, that flying's a hassle
Gotta get where I need to go
I don't care about our destination
Just come with me to away from home
