Please Mr. Pilot

[Verse 1]

Hanging out at the airplane hangar

I can’t face the funeral hangover

I don’t know why I even try

I should know I can never cry

I can’t go to the cemetery

And break bread over your body

Why should I bare my soul to strangers

When I never bared my soul to you?

[Chorus]

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta start up the airplane

I’ve got to get away from here

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta put me back in the sky

Where I’ll be closer to you

[Verse 2]

Feeling like a coward

I don’t wanna see flowers growing on you

But they’ll send a car to meet me

As soon as they know I’m here

I don’t know the reason why

I already said goodbye

I shouldn’t have to do it in public

Or am I just rationalizing?

[Chorus]

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta start up the airplane

I’ve got to get away from here

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta put me back in the sky

Where I’ll be closer to you

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta start up the airplane

I’ve got to get away from here

Please Mr. Pilot

You gotta put me back in the sky

I’ve got to get away from here

[Outro]

(I’m gonna get so high

Up in the sky

I’m gonna get so high

Gonna forget you died

I’m gonna get so high

Up in the sky

I’m gonna get so high

Gonna forget you died)
