PLANE TICKETS

Beth Keeping, Kaity Rae

All my friends, they’re getting married
And they spend their time starting families
Now we don’t catch up
I’m the one they’re leaving behind

I don’t dance at birthday parties
I’m the odd one out without somebody
And it brings me down
Makes me feel like a child

I’m not scared of dying lonely
It’s the living part that gets me

So I’m running through airports getting lost
Going somewhere I can turn it off
All my baggage in a carry on
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Bittersweet summer getaways
Start a new life for a couple days
Hoping I’m far enough away
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Buying plane tickets

I take flights and drink on beaches and
I hike through hills til I can’t feel it
And I make new friends
I forget for a while

I make my life look so romantic
That sometimes it just works like magic
I’m not counting heartaches
Just counting the miles

I’m not scared of dying lonely
It’s the living part that gets me

So I’m running through airports getting lost
Going somewhere I can turn it off
All my baggage in a carry on
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Bittersweet summer getaways
Start a new life for a couple days
Hoping I’m far enough away
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Buying plane tickets

And I escape from it

‘Cause I’m so tired of people thinking we’ve all gotta find the piece we’re missing
Every time I’m stepping off it’s like a new beginning
Run free kinda feeling
Looking out the window
Letting it all go as I’m leaving

All my friends, they’re getting married
And they spend their time starting families
And they look so happy settling down

So I’m running through airports getting lost
Going somewhere I can turn it off
All my baggage in a carry on
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Bittersweet summer getaways
Start a new life for a couple days
Hoping I’m far enough away
Lonely can’t find me when I’m filling in the time with
Buying plane tickets

And I escape from it

‘Cause I’m so tired of people thinking we’ve all gotta find the piece we’re missing
Every time I’m stepping off it’s like a new beginning
Run free kinda feeling
