Hey did you ever know that songs are just some thick little words   And that the Aeroport is just a nest of big metal birds   And they swoop in and out and steal us from each others' lives and   Tear us apart like conjoined twins under a surgeon's knives      An inch is a mile is a day   And where you are is too far away      Hey did you ever know that years are just slippery numbers   And that I still get chills when I hear Paul sing Golden Slumbers   Cause it reminds me of our house and how it used to snow there   And lets me know that I can still skip town and end up nowhere      An inch is a mile is a day   And where you are is too far away   And a drop is a puddle is a sea   And that's further than I want to be      And now I read you letters and they said someday   We'll meet again on some empty runway   And watch the planes they circle like Peregrine   Falcons do and carry us there again      An inch is a mile is a day   And where you are is too far away   And a drop is a puddle is a sea   And that's further than I want to be      I sent a letter and it said someday   We'll meet again on some crowded runway   And watch the planes they circle like birds of prey   And as you left I thought that I heard you say      An inch is a mile is a day   And where you live is too far away
