At first I wanted to make fun of all of you. And then I actually started laughing at some of these posts.

Most of you are stupidly over interpreting this song. He describes perfectly; taking off on an airplane. You don't have to read between the lines to figure that out.

This song has limitless possibilities if you're going to read into it so stupidly. It's possible he was thinking of something else when he wrote this song, but you guys sure as hell aren't going to know what it is.

The lyrics are so literal and not even remotely suggestive.

I'm sick of all of you people trying to make every freakin' song you've ever heard into some piece of crap relationship song. This song has NOTHING to do with a relationship and YET YOU TRY SO HARD FOR IT TO BE ABOUT ONE.

Amen. Couldn't have said it better myself!
