white boy i sat next to on the plane

I was looking out of the window

Down at the light-cracked earth below

Thinking to myself how far we have come

Imagine there's an extraterrestrial

Looking at this sight, would they marvel?

Or despair at this mighty work, at how nature succumbs?

Oh, that is not the point of this song though

Oh, that is not the point of this song though

It's because I caught a glimpse of him

Sleeping in the middle of a film

Shining in the night, in the middle of the air

Curly brown hair like a Greek statue

Leaning on the window, what a view!

Had a sudden flash of my life with him into the future

Oh, like that Britney Curious Commercial

Oh, you're stranger but you made me feel so special

We could have been so happy forever

You and me we could be totally together

In another universe, I would have come say hi

Passing through the turbulent stormy weather

Facing all the hardships and all the pleasures

In another universe, I would have come say hi

But all I did was staring at you

Like a creep in the night, marvelling at a masterpiece

We could have been so happy forever

You and me we could be totally together

In another universe, I would have come say hi

Passing through the turbulent stormy weather

Facing all the hardships and all the pleasures

In another universe, I would have come say hi

But all I did was staring at you

Like a creep in the night, marvelling at a masterpiece

The plane landed and the dream was over

Lost in the crowd, bag-pack on his shoulder

The grand vision slowly faded from my mind

I went home to my cats and my lover

It's 2am, lying here as I wondered

About this boy I sat next to on the plane
