It Already Would Have Not Worked out by Now

remember us in jet streams, high in conversation, strangers in the sky
Who met on a delay, suddenly a redeye, racing through the night
I told you about my love who's ready like a harbour as soon as I arrive
it all gets real when the gear goes down
and it already would have not worked out by now

Over Minnesota you asked to borrow my shoulder, I smile to oblige
in a sudden drop in pressure, I would've put your mask on before I put on mine
why was I wishing, wishing that the tailwind was not on our side
When I know, had we never touched the ground,
that it already would have not worked out by now

still, anytime I feel mistreated
I wonder what it'd be like if we stayed up in the sky, high, so high, oh why

Some thoughts fly standby
waiting in an alternate life

where we take that walk
and we buy the house
all electronics off
and we get the job
put your seat belts on
and the baby crowns
raise your table trays
and the taxes breaks
Put your seats upright
and I drink too much
pick up all your trash
and bills pile up
thanks for flying with us
as the years roll out
and it already would have not worked out by now
it already would have not worked out by now
it already would have not worked out by now
