How to Land a Plane Songtext
von Sir Simon

Somewhere across the border
Ten miles from Bucharest
The engine started to die
You said we still can make it
And come in second best
Maybe at least we can try

And half asleep at OTP airport
We sneaked into the priority lane
I told you I was so afraid of flying
You showed me how to land a plane

Right at the city center
I woke up in your car
All things packed, ready to go
Not much that I remember
For my big memoir
Full of high hopes, chances low


Two narcoleptic agents on mission
Always a little late to the game
They wanted us to sign the petition
You showed me how to spell my name

Now that the game was over
And everyone went home
I′ve never been good at goodbyes
You said that we were closer
Than we had ever known
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye

You made me say that I would never do it
And then I asked you how to cut a wire
I promised I would never be so stupid
You showed me how to set a fire

And all the time I kept on counting
Things we didn't learn from mistakes
If for the worse or for the better
We′re just wondering how little it takes
Apart from bad habits and good intentions
You said that every beautiful thing
Doesn't ever ask for attention
