Takeoff

Drive to the airport
Get there nice and early
Security’s a breeze
And we’re at gate A40

An hour before
We even have to board
That was too much time
To let you feel unsure

I’m ready for takeoff
Let you call the shots
So I’m never in the wrong
I’m just playing along

Ready for takeoff
Let you call the shots
So I never take the fault
Watch us do somersaults

You’re so indecisive
Make your mind up soon
Til’ then, I’m on standby
Just staying tuned

There’s a storm rolling in
So I watch for delays
And wonder if we’ll make it
To the holidays

I’m ready for takeoff
Let you call the shots
So I’m never in the wrong
I’m just playing along

Ready for takeoff
Let you call the shots
So I never take the fault
Watch us do somersaults

Pilot on the intercom
Says “don’t mind the weather”
Our flight’s still on time
And the rain’s getting better

I feel so relieved
But disappointment is all I see
On your face, and right away
I know you’re not here to stay

I’ve been ready for takeoff
Let you call the shots
So I wasn’t in the wrong
I was playing along

Ready for take off
Let you call the shots
So I’d never take the fault
Watched us do somersaults
