Waiting at the gate the say “the plane’s too hot to fly”
And “folks we know and folks we’re sorry
But it’s 85 degrees inside”
“Too hot for who?” I think
Like 85 is painless
If I’m cozy slowly dozing off
to seat-back entertainment
Wake up we’re over Akron
A place I’ve never been
Just an hour north and east from
Where I used to sleep with him
What good does the altitude do
When I’m taller than ever and tiny to you
What good are the tailwinds today
When I’m almost always facing the wrong way
Lowering the landing gear and putting up the trays
And folks it’s 40 in Manhattan
Folks we hope you’ve had a pleasant day
Eyeing on the cabin crew
Who patiently deplane us
Through the gridlock in the aisle that the guy behind me finds outrageous
Long week and I’m exhausted
Missed you but not a lot
So he took off my newest dress in Austin at the Marriott
What good does the altitude do
If I’m taller than ever and tiny to you
What good are the tailwinds today
When I’m almost always facing the wrong way

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
