Lost Planes Lyrics

When you're hanging from a parachute
The whistling wind might play your flute
So forget it
Lost traffic
Someone said you couldn't fly the plane
So I guess this journey's all in vain
So forget it
Lost traffic
We're on a lost plane
Should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
Flying high but your fuel is low
How far can a missing plane go
So forget it
Lost traffic
Tell you that you're flying radar
But it's that much safer to take that car
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
So when you're hanging from a parachute
The whistling wind might play your flute
So forget it
Lost traffic
Tell you that you're flying radar
But it's that much safer to take that car
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane
So forget it
We're on a lost plane
I should've taken the train
We're on a lost plane

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.

Cover art for Lost Planes lyrics by Fixx, The

by Strubbery

4y ago

I think the narrator of this song is regretting his past decisions and wishes he could leave the road he\'s on. He compares his life to a lost plane, wandering about without direction.\n\n"We\'re on a lost plane\nI should\'ve taken the train\nWe\'re on a lost plane\nSo forget it"
