Seated by the wing.
A little face inside a ring.
Plane came in late.
Run up the ramp into my arms.
My arms.

You're a new thirteen.
Wide-eyed and nervous just like me.
Don't grow too fast.
There's a lot of little things to see.
You see,

it makes me crazy
to see you twice as big this time.
I'm so happy
just to catch you on your climb.

Sister of mine,
you live too far away now.
Seems such a shame
to only know your name.

Clear blue of eye.
Smile hides a precious underbite.
Angel in disguise,
I've got you in my thoughts each night.
Tonight,

does it make me crazy
to worry about your bare walls?
Looks so vacant.
Are you sleeping there at all?

Sister of mine,
you live too far away now.
Seems such a shame
to only know your name.

She thinks it's stupid
that we get paid to jump around.
It's what I live for.
I swear I'll never touch the ground.

Sister of mine,
you live too far away now.
Seems such a shame
to only know your name.

Sister of mine.
I'll meet you past halfway now.
Throw me a line,
attach a cup and whisper, "Hey."
"Hey, hey."
