lyrics

The cabin lights are dimmed and low
A thin nylon blanket and a seat by the window.
This cardboard meal is exactly how i feel
Just waiting to be taken away.
If i'm honest with you i'm not honest with me
So i'm sorry.

I'm sorry to Campbellside and High Carlisle.
I'm sorry to Curtis Stirling, it wasn't worth it.
For the bloody back seat and the body on the beach.
I'm sorry the signs on the wall didn't help at all.

These strangers' conversations brought tears to my eyes
Awkwardly turning away to empathise
The safety information is secure in the rack
Am i going home or just going back?
If i'm honest with you i'm not honest with me
So i'm sorry.

I'm sorry to Campbellside and High Carlisle.
I'm sorry to Curtis Stirling, it wasn't worth it.
For the bloody back seat and the body on the beach.
I'm sorry the signs on the wall didn't help at all.

It looks like Ohio a million miles below me now
And the edge of night is coming round
Thirty five thousand feet above the ground
But i can't breathe and i can't come down

It looked like Ohio below me then
But i'm blinded by a lightning storm again
If i'm honest with you i'm not honest with me
So i'm sorry.

I'm sorry to Campbellside and High Carlisle.
I'm sorry to Curtis Stirling, it wasn't worth it.
For the bloody back seat and the body on the beach.
I'm sorry the signs on the wall didn't help at all.
I'm sorry to Campbellside and High Carlisle.
I'm sorry to Curtis Stirling, it wasn't right.
For the bloody back seat and the body they found.
I'm sorry that the signs on the wall keep coming around.
Yeah the signs on the wall keep coming around
