Terrestrial Man

[Intro Spoken]

Hey, bud, uh, just checking in

If actually, if you want, I'm, uh, in between flight

We're all flying and I'm gone heading out to the north

And, yeah-yeah, bye, love ya

[Verse 1]

Hey, bud, just calling from Seattle

How are you living out in Nashville?

Prepared for European travel? Will you be leaving soon?

I'll be back in a few days, it'd be great to see your face

If you're busy, that's okay, what are you up to?

I've been jumping back and forth

Between Oakland and New York

There are limitless airports to keep me on the move

[Chorus]

And I've come to undеrstand

That I'm no terrestrial man

My home's a location in bеtween destinations

Sometimes I wish that I'd never land

[Verse 2]

Hey, bud, just calling you from Dallas

This terminal's an earthly palace

For every pilot lacking balance in his sleep routine

You're going to London, ain't it funny?

You'll fly through here to leave the country

I'll leave behind some foreign money at security

So, when you drink in Camden Town

You can afford to double down

Don't leave your head up in the clouds

More than it needs to be

[Chorus]

‘Cause you'll come to understand

That you're no terrestrial man

Your home's a location in between destinations

Do you ever wish that you didn't land?

[Bridge]

What was the cause when you thought that you'd call me an asshole?

(Hey, bud, did I miss your call?

I'll be leaving a message— in forty minutes or so)

I'm sorry that I'm sleep-deprived every time that I come home

(Sorry, your bud is working

So, um, let me know when he can)

Remember when you were a kid? Brought you gifts from Tokyo

I lived for the light in your eyes, you were five, where's the time go?

You thought I knew this world like the back of my hand

[Chorus]

But I'm no terrestrial man

My home's a location in between destinations

Sometimes I wish that I'd never land

Do you ever wish that you didn't land?
