[Verse 1]
I could've been a pilot
I could've been patient with your mind
I wish that you had reached across from your bed
In the hospital to mine
And when it rained, I had been hungry
So I ate what I could find
But now it's all a memory
And I wish I had the time to start again
[Chorus]
They took me up in a big aeroplane
To a house with unlocked doors
But I had so much living
That I had not yet been given
Show me how to love you more
[Verse 2]
Wonder if you're still waiting tables
And if your dad got clean
I wonder if there's someplace here for me
And when they found me in the garden
Singing "Hallelujah Father"
Begging, "Please, is there someplace here for me?"
So we could start again
[Chorus]
They took me up in a big aeroplane
To a house with unlocked doors
But I had so much living
That I had not yet been given
Show me how to love you more
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
They took me up in a big aeroplane
To a house with unlocked doors
But I had so much living
That I had not yet been given
Show me how to love you more
Still waiting on your aeroplane
See you up on the thousandth floor
But I had so much living
That I had not yet been given
Show me how to love you more
