Staying calm, I was sitting at the edge of my seat
Playing along while my heart skipped every beat
Red flags and alarms telling me to retreat
Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, I
Gripped the armrest, knuckles turned white as a ghost
Both palms pressed, buckled in, hugging me close
Blood rushed in, pulse stuck right in my throat
Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, don't
Don't wake me up (mmm, don't wake me up)
Don't psych me out (mmm, suck it up)
We're taking off (mmm, taking off)
Don't wake me up (mmm, wake me up, don't)

Felt the floor drop fast, I was floating along
Try ignoring, can't perform like nothing is wrong
Begging for more time, need a minute to calm
Calm down, calm down, calm down, I
Feel the sweat fear spread, cold, dark as the dawn
Regret what's left, make a mark when I'm gone
Walked the plank, watch it tank, been the plan all along
Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, I
Wish it went as safely as they say
Wishing I was not so far away
We're flying way too high to hide the rain
I just want to see another day
Don't wake me up (mmm, don't wake me up)
Don't psych me out (mmm, suck it up)
We're taking off (mmm, taking off)
Don't wake me up (mmm, wake me up, don't)

Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, I
