VERSE 1
702 is cruising at 25000 feet,
and I’m looking down on rooftops of some people I will never meet
I want to send a message to the strangers on the ground
And the one who’s waiting for me, and the one I left behind
CHORUS 1
I should’ve told you long ago but I was just too shy
Dreaming of the moment when there was nothing left to hide
So remember me as the one you knew if 702 should fall out of the sky
VERSE 2
You think that I’m friendly, you think I’m kind of cool
You call me on the telephone when you get home from school
So just keep on pretending I’m the person you think you know
While I’m on the plane to Phoenix and you’re 5 miles below
CHORUS 2
And I should’ve told you long ago but I was just too shy
I wanted to speak the truth to you and save you from the lie
So remember me as the one you knew if 702 should fall out of the sky
BRIDGE
We’ve hit a little turbulence; I know there’s something wrong
So I’ll leave some simple songs that you can sing when I am gone
Mellow moods, interludes, psychedelic fugues, stories of illusion and confusion
And if we are never again to meet
You can remember me any way you want
Oh please remember me
REPEAT CHORUS 2
Oh please remember me
