Last minute ticket, I was feeling restless
It's getting frigid, so I'm flying southwest,
I'm on the A-list... it's like I'm famous
Take me to a city where they don't know what my name is
That's when I pass you in the lineup and you look at me
That's when I tell you that I'm saving you a window seat
I can't believe it when you stop and turn at row 13
You said you hope I don't let anybody sit between
its the two of us, with fuel enough, to loosen up and dream
there's altitude enough, to make fools of us, in this aluminum machine
and soon enough, we'll lose the buzz, with the ground beneath our feet
But right now, we're just 13A and B
Where you from, first thing that I ask ya
A little town, somewhere in Nebraska
When you were young you couldn't leave it any faster
But to be honest it's been kind of a disaster
You're heading home, first time since a year ago
Expecting everyone to tell you that they told you so,
You open up to a stranger, but I get you though
I know you're nervous, let the drink service flow
for the two of us, with fuel enough, to loosen up and dream
there's altitude enough, to make fools of us, in this aluminum machine
and soon enough, we'll lose the buzz, with the ground beneath our feet
But right now, we're just 13A and B
We both brought baggage, but everyone's got their own
And wish we didn't have it, but life only carries on
it's not how we imagined, so we look for the exit row
But up at thirty thousand, it feels like the weight is gone
And see the busy planet, little dots in the window now
We're up above the traffic, leave the worries all on the ground
In a pressurized cabin, hypnotized by the engine sounds
I don't know when we're landing, but here in the clouds...
It's just the two of us, with fuel enough, to lose our touch and dream
there's altitude enough, to make fools of us, in this aluminum machine
and soon enough, we'll lose the buzz, with the ground beneath our feet
But right now, we're just 13A and B
Then the lights turn up, I feel the nudge, and "sir, it's time to leave"
So I hurry up, over empty cups, and across the empty seat
And then I reach above, and hope you left a note behind for me
But right now, we're just 13A and B.
