"Watching Airplanes" - Gary Alan

Sitting out here on the hood of this truck looking up
At a caramel colored, sunset sky
Checkin' my watch, doing the math in my head
Countin' backwards to when you said "Goodbye"
Well those runway lights are getting brighter...

I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore
Right now I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes

I would've lied, could've cried, should've tried harder
Done anything to make you stay
I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window
And saw me running down the run-way
Just like I was crazy
But that fence is too high
And so am I

I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore

By now I know your thirty-thousand feet above me
But a million miles away, oh a million miles away
By now I know how to act like you don't love me

But I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
And I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Trying to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore

Yeah, I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes go by, by, by
I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes Baby, bye, bye, bye
