lyrics

There goes the airplane
and it's going to my sisters
they're always traveling the world

There goes the airplane
and it's going to my niece
she's studying abroad

It's going off to places
where I'd rather be today

It's raining in the city
they say its the worst summer ever
and I'm spotting the airplanes that fly by
off to places where it's sunny

I'm so sick of the darkness
but the promise is always
above the clouds the sun is always shining
the sun is always shining

There goes the airplane
and it's going towards your house
this time it will fly over
but next time around
it might land on your backyard airstrip

if you build it we could land it on your backyard airstrip

< instr >

This paper airplane
it is flying towards your house
landing softly on the flowers that grow beside your door
and if you would open that door
it would land carefully on your feet
and you should read the note
cause it would tell you where to meet me

I might be dreaming off to places that I don't know
I might be dreaming off but I think you're one of those places that I wanna know, where I wanna go

You're the nicest stranger I've ever met

All those airplanes might go to somewhere else
but in the end I wanna be back home
spend this rainy day with someone else
someone like you

If you are my ticket home, I'd rather be home
