Lyrics
Oh jet plane high in the sky where you move
oh jet plane skywrite some thing that will soothe
this ragged world below as you go.
now i've wondered ten million miles in my mind
and i've pondered how life without love
is a vacant hell that feels like dying,
no i ain't lying.
and i wonder if I'm far from the truth
cause i don't have a clue
how the hell you're supposed to
keep your cool
emotions get the best of me
it's true
emotions get the best of me and you
oh jet plane high in the sky where you live
oh jet plane skywrite something that would give
some hope to the sinking ship we've been sailing in
now i long for something no left brain could know
cause i know no type of fact books or figures could
show you the light inside your soul
now ain't that so
and i wonder if I'm far from the truth
cause i don't have a clue
how the hell you're supposed to
keep your cool
emotions get the best of me
it's true
emotions get the best of me and you
