Watching Planes Take Off

Get a Licensing Quote for Watching Planes Take Off

Midnight shadows dancing right across your face
We are parked out by the runway in our secret little place
Watching planes take off into the dark blue sky
Wishing I could freeze the clock as the lights go flying by
The radio is humming softly on the dash
Your fingers trace the window in a slow and gentle flash
I lean in close enough to feel the beating of your heart
A silent kind of language that was written from the start
Every silver engine roaring up above
Reminds me that I'm falling in a sudden rush of love
The glowing runway lanterns painted on your skin
I just want to lose myself in where we could begin
Watching planes take off, but I'm the one who's flying
Caught inside your gravity, there's absolutely no denying
We are anchored to the ground, but my head is in the clouds
Far away from waking towns and heavy, noisy crowds
Yeah, I'm soaring when you are looking in my eyes
A thousand different journeys in the middle of the skies
A gentle breeze is blowing through the open door
I pull you slightly closer, 'cause I'm always wanting more
The scent of rain and midnight wrapped around the night
Everything is perfect, everything is feeling right
Every silver engine roaring up above
Reminds me that I'm falling in a sudden rush of love
The glowing runway lanterns painted on your skin
I just want to lose myself in where we could begin
Watching planes take off, but I'm the one who's flying
Caught inside your gravity, there's absolutely no denying
We are anchored to the ground, but my head is in the clouds
Far away from waking towns and heavy, noisy crowds
Yeah, I'm soaring when you are looking in my eyes
A thousand different journeys in the middle of the skies
Watching planes take off, but I'm the one who's flying
Caught inside your gravity, there's absolutely no denying
A quiet moment right before the morning breaks
A heavy breath that every passing shadow takes
I hold the feeling, burning slow and beautifully bright
Yeah, it's Sayed, pulling closer in the stillness of the night
A quiet promise meant for nobody but you
A secret kind of magic that is breaking into view
Watching planes take off, but I'm the one who's flying
Caught inside your gravity, there's absolutely no denying
We are anchored to the ground, but my head is in the clouds
Far away from waking towns and heavy, noisy crowds
