Landing Gear

[Verse 1]
Feel the drag of the landing gear
It’s nothing to fear
Like a ghost of the sunglasses on your head
Long gone but there’s something there

[Verse 2]
Slipped into the town car and floated away
Dim lights on your license plate
Feel like crumpled contents of an old coat pocket
A lost bird in the airport lobby

[Chorus 1]
I keep telling myself that it’s all the same
Whether love is long or short and sweet
I was lucky to know you, it’s all the same
To them

[Verse 3]
Bet you cry yourself to sleep
In a room near the ice machine
Two elevators open and close
Drunk voices walking by the door

[Chorus 2]
I keep telling myself that it’s all the same
Whether someone is humble or big and grand
I was lucky to know you at all my friend
To land

[Hook]
I see you going places
I feel you going places with me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I see you as the reason to rhyme
How long ‘til we hit our time?
The moon’s just a sliver of light
[3:56?] … all night

[Verse 5]
Snowflakes in a streetlight fall
Piano notes that wander off
Just smoking embers that can’t be caught
So beautiful when we saw them

[Hook]
I see you going places
I feel you going places with me
