blind pilots

i hope you never change

i hope you never go

i hope you always keep

our little secrets though

but how'd we get here

at this height

and what's this talk of

dead weight

i know we always drink

but we don't always fight

the landing lights are on

but we're just out of sight

cos this thing's mobile

there's still wheels

and i'm not done yet

so hang on

you came along to change the grade

to raise the bar i'd made of late

you came along to raise the stakes

to tend to me and my mistakes

i can't pretend that i could be

the man you said you saw in me

but hang around and i'll try and land this thing

noone came

noone saw

someone pass the manual

and soon i'll go away

i'll see you at the door

so go put david on

read about the war

we're just blind pilots

in strange planes

back seat drivers

in dead cars

you came along to change the grade

to raise the bar i'd made of late

you came along to raise the stakes

to tend to me and my mistakes

i can't pretend that i could be

the man you said you saw in me

but hang around and i'll try and land this thing

yeah i made a list of all the things

that i could change how i could win

i can't and i refuse to say

the wheels have slowly come away

i pray to god my soul to keep

cos i could never stand the heat

but hang around and i'll try and land this thing

noone came

noone saw

someone pass the manual
