Airplanes Lyrics

Step One: Sell everything you own.
Buy a ticket out of this town right now.
Step Two: Cut ties with who you knew.
They'll only drag you back to that place that hurt you.
I could write more than three lines about how I hate
every street corner and stop sign.
I wanna get out gotta get out.
I wanna get out of this town right now.
I wanna get out gotta get out get out of this town.
I'm afraid of airplanes but I'm getting on one today.
I wanna leave this place so I'm getting on one.
I hope that they can see my wave up here
in this seat next to outer space.
When you touch down and your feet meet new ground.
Try your best to forget that place.
They say that every towns the same.
Well i beg to differ.
I hate that fucking place.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
