Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The seats were all dusty, the side doors were open
Those aeroplanes were left there, years ago
Granddad had spoken of forests in Russia
I pictured him walking in ten inches of snow
[Verse 2]
We liked pretending those planes could fly
That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky
It was just pretending, simple to do
We'd make some plans and travel someplace new
[Verse 3]
Paris and London, those cities in movies
Prefect lives were lived, if they could be believed
Back in the real world, they seemed so distant
But none of it mattered in the aeroplane field
[Verse 4]
We liked pretending those planes did fly
That rusty old wings knew the entire sky
It was just pretending, there was nothing more
Hey, why the sad face, can't you feel this cabin soar?
[Verse 5]
It was great pretending those planes could fly
That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky
Come on, hurry, we'll soon be gone
It's time for us to put our seat belts on
