Once upon a time   I was rattling around   Like a songbird that you prized   But it never made a sound      Someone told me not to come   They told me not to look   But you know I never take advice   And one time is all it took      I thought hey, I'd treat you like an aeroplane   I'd feed you clouds and vapor trails   We'd go for walks on Everest   We would sleep underneath   The watchful eye of the crescent moon      It might seem ludicrous   I know it sounds cliché   But when she walks into the room   She brings a brighter day      Can't help but watch her every move   While I pretend to look away   Smitten, bound and gagged   But if I got the chance I'd say      I'd say, "Hey, I'll treat you like an aeroplane"   I'll catch you like a falling star   I'll be your hero astronaut   And we'll sleep underneath   The waterfall of the Milky Way      But if I wait a little while   I might find the nerve   To find the words to say to her   I find the timing's right   To wait a little while, a little while      Perfect is a number   That you're not allowed to say   So when she put me on the spot   I quickly coined a phrase      I said, "Hey, I'll treat you like an aeroplane"   I'll feed you clouds and vapor trails   We'll go for walks on Everest   And we'll sleep underneath the waterfall   Yeah, we'll sleep underneath   The watchful eye of the crescent moon.
