Should say: She said, "I just can't be conscious for this" "But we are not pulling teeth, we are just flying miss"

You can tell in the whole beginning, about shutting up until the wheels are off the ground, and waiting for the "move around" light to light up, that a girl is afraid of flying, and wants to be sedated, but someone's reply is that they're not pulling teeth, just flying.

I think there's a metaphor in the song with a fear of flying representing a fear of maturing/aging ("Well I know we are just flying/when your whole life feels like lying/and things in the rear start to shrink"). I don't have it all figured out though.
