It should be

We were safe, now we're paralyzed Suspended in flight At this speed it makes no difference whether we're standing or sitting in an emergency aisle (not 100% sure about that one but it sounds close)

We could be dead, complete the equation. What is our X and N? We have no value in these calculations Placed on a plane, pointed straight down Traveling at 500 feet per second 5000 feet from the ground

How long will it take us to hit? How fast will we start the disintegration? Don't look now, just keep moving on somehow, Just keep moving

How fast will it take us to hit? How long till we start the disintegration?

We could be safe now, forever Floating in the clean blue air, circling between the sun that gives us light and the ground that puts it out

And we'll kneel in the isles Press our hands together and close our eyes Speak these words so softly To the black box, it goes Mother, father, kelly and friends, I want to thank you for all of your sweetness, But I'm never, ever coming home

(I'm not sure about the last 3 lines, but it's pretty close as far as I can tell)
