Lyrics

K

We were safe
Now we're paralyzed
Suspended in flight
At this speed it makes no difference
Where I start and where you end
Or if you sit in an emergency aisle

We could be dead
Complete the equation:
Our names are x and n
We have no value in these calculations:
We're placed on a plane
Pointed straight down
Traveling at five hundred feet per second
Five thousand feet from the ground

How long will it take us to hit?
How fast will we start the disintegration?

No time left-just keep moving
No time left-just keep moving

We could be safe, here, forever
Floating in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun that gives us light
And the ground that puts it out

(Flight attendant:)
We'll kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together
Close our eyes, and speak these words so softly into the blackbox
And it goes:

"Mother, father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for all the sweetness
But I'm not coming home, we're never coming home."
