THE LYRICS:
Airplanes
and jumping trains
I know he understands them
Shooting stars who sleep in cars
I used to live that life
Christmas lights shine off his records
As they spin
There’s more to my people
Than dirty jeans and safety pins
So
I warn him
That I could love him
He might not feel the same way but that is okay
So just be my friend instead
Chorus:
Cause I’m a cloudboy
Yes I’m a cloudboy
And I live for the things that a highway can
bring
Knowing you makes that okay
Yes I’m a cloudboy
“Free
as a bird” says the jukebox and he
sings
along
And here at this table sit people who live like
that song
Homeless Larry with coffee must wonder if life
has a cause
Or if Jesus will turn out to be just like Santa
Claus
I look at Holly…Keith and Aaron
And the boy in the corner who’s making me smile
Showing me doing nothing can be worthwhile
Repeat Chorus
Now watch me hit the highway
