Lyrics

Airbus A380

Airbus A380, at the gate she stands
Boarding pass and passport clutched tightly in your hand
Time to tell you something you may not understand
I'm not getting on that plane
My bag is packed with dirty towels I stole from the hotel
I imagine by the time you land they'll likely start to smell
Just leave the bag go 'round and 'round on the carousel
I'm not getting on that plane.

You probably have some questions but likely no surprise
Not if even once you looked closely in my eyes
Tired of what I've become, I'm tired of the lies
And I'm not getting on that plane
I'm not getting on that plane.

It doesn't matter when I planned this or what made me decide
Nights spent staring at the wall or all the nights I cried
You'll have an empty seat beside you on this airplane ride
I'm not getting on that plane.

You probably have some questions but likely no surprise
Not if even once you looked closely in my eyes
Tired of what I've become, I'm tired of the lies
And I'm not getting on that plane
I'm not getting on that plane.

At forty thousand feet maybe you will finally see
What works for you, doesn't work for me
You're bound for the sky I'm headed to the sea
And I'm not getting on that plane.

Instrumental

The Airbus A380 is standing at the gate
You probably think I'm quite the jerk for leaving this so late
I wanted little time for thought or little time for hate
I'm not getting on that plane

You likely have some questions but probably no surprise
Not if ever once you looked closely in my eyes
I'm sorry for what I've become but you must realize
I'm not getting on that plane
I'm not getting on that plane..
I'm not getting on that plane.
