lyrics

I don’t know about flying a jet plane
and if I did you would know by the flames
how I can crash a burn through the sound of a radio controller
screaming don’t go, don’t go yet

not quite yet

I’ve crashed a car going twelve and a half K fast
that’s all I need to wreck a moment that should last
and watch her walk away seven paces, yes
to turn a corner away with a pirouette

oh my my, this time I’ll be fine
just not quite yet

If I’m at work then I’ll have to wait to watch you leave
without a clue of which airport your flight would be
but as it happens I’ve been counting ships floating by
I saw written in the rust of one -Ike, Goodbye

Oh my my, this time I’ll be fine
just not quite yet

If I didn’t know, if I didn’t know better,
I should be waiting on the driveway for a letter
addressed to me and where nothing else resides
an empty envelope with a nod and a wink inside

Oh my my,
this time I’ll be fine
just not quite yet
