Nobody told me it'd be easy
Nobody told me everything would be just fine
I don't know where or when I pulled these promises out of thin air
Or if there's such a thing as fair
I think about these things on airplanes
I'm never lonely until cruising altitude
I don't need anybody when I've got my feet flat on the ground
Or when I've got a night in town
I gotta be at LAX, at JFK
At CDG, LGA
LHR, where are you?
Flight delay at O'Hare
I could be anywhere
I don't care, where are you?
I felt the same yesterday, 7,000 miles away
Everybody thinks I've changed
But what's strange is I'm okay
At LAX, at JFK
At CDG, LGA
I'm on my way
I used to dream that I was falling
Now every nightmare is an infinite ascent
Where am I gonna go
When there's no map, no street, no road up here
And it's too late to disappear?
I gotta be at LAX, at JFK
At CDG, LGA
LHR, where are you?
Flight delay at O'Hare
I could be anywhere
I don't care, where are you?
I felt the same yesterday, 7,000 miles away
Everybody thinks I've changed
But what's strange is I'm okay
At LAX, at JFK
At CDG, LGA
I'm on my way to somewhere
(Scatting)
Baby, I'm not afraid of crashing
I'm not afraid of going down
But I'm so scared of climbing higher
I'm too familiar with the ground
I used to be afraid of losing
But now I'm frightened to succeed
You got me crying on the airplane
I ain't no victim, but I need you
To pick me up at JFK
At CDG, LGA
LHR, where are you?
Flight delay at O'Hare
I could be anywhere
I don't care, where are you?
I felt the same yesterday, 7,000 miles away
Everybody thinks I've changed
But what's strange is I'm okay
At LAX, JFK
At CDG, LGA
Nobody told me it'd be easy
