I was a boat by the lake
Stationed and silent and lost
You were just running away
And needed a lift across
You put all your things in a bag
And hopped across the water with me
I took you to where the train tracks
And the edge of the water meet
Then I was a plane in the sky
Searching for some place to land
And you were a frightened soldier
Waiting with the gun in your hands
And suddenly I lose control
Crash position won't save a thing
I try not to hurt anyone
But I can't steer and I can't see
