Songwriters: Dean, Barry; Laird, Luke Twenty four C don't believe in God But he always prays when the thing takes off And the grandma that he's next to watches the window Three B's got her headphones on She's still not used to her daddy being gone She gets to see him every three months for the weekend Just people in planes Seventeen A's in an exit row Waiting for his Jack and Coke to show Just wishing he didn't settle so fast in college I'm over here in a middle seat Watching the world, but half asleep Wondering why there's never movies on the ones I'm on And it occurs to me Maybe I've got too much time to think But it helps to be reminded how we're Just people in planes, when it comes down to it We're side by side on the same ride There's not a whole lot of difference At the end of the day, We just want to know it's going to be okay Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing We're just people in planes Hey, do you remember back when Your dad could still lift you then He'd pick you up, and you'd think that you were flying You'd spread your arms and start to land Do you remember how to laugh like that Why does that baby feel like crying We 're just people in planes, when it comes down to it We're side by side on the same ride There's not a whole lot of difference At the end of the day, We just want to know it's going to be okay Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing We're just people in planes The girl in front of me spilling their guts to some lady She's never met and will never see again Has been weighing for a long time on her conscience There's seat kickers and loud talkers Honeymoon lovers and several in the back there looking hung over Must be coming back from Mexico...or Vegas People in planes, when it comes down to it We're side by side on the same ride There's not a whole lot of difference At the end of the day, We just want to know it's going to be okay Counting on somebody we can't see to land this thing We're all waiting on somebody we can't see to land this thing We're just people in planes Just people in planes
