I thought I'd feel better than I did before
But I took a wrong turn and took the long way home
I couldn't find out where you were
And it scared me
Breathe in and breathe out and lean over the gurney
I'll wait by the door and I'll try not to worry
You're holding your head like a child
And it scares me
Oh but shadows of airplanes over the 405
Distract me from the pain that you must be feeling tonight
Everything's in slow motion
I thought I could take it
But I wanna go home
And the doctors and nurses all know you by name
The waiting room's cold and there's no one to blame
You're caving back into yourself
And it scares me
And I don't wanna look you right in the eyes
I'm afraid that I'll see some fragment of mine
And selfishly I just want to leave
And that scares me, that scares me
Oh but shadows of airplanes over the 405
Watch me panic in the front seat after I said goodbye
Everything's in slow motion
I thought I could take it
But I wanna go home
But these hands can't save you
They barely saved themselves
And I'm sorry for breaking
I can't think of anyone else
I can't be your ambulance
I'm driving as fast as I can
Oh but shadows of airplanes over the 405
They watch me from the window as I begin to cry
Everything's in slow motion
Everything's in slow motion
Everything's in slow motion
I thought I could take it
I thought I could take it
But I wanna go home
