Lyrics for Airports as interpreted by aquababy

Airports Lyrics
You little creep, That's what she said, these quotes from your mother, get better every day.
And you'll be nothing, just like your father, at least that's what the kids at school say.

And Jamie spent her Christmas at the Airport, She said planes made her feel like she could get away. And I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport...Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard

And we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
We dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die"
And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call
And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full
And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time
And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line.
(And you don't seem to mind)

And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer, knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around. And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. And it seems to me that we'd been here before

Where were you when I was at the airport,
where were you when i wanted to fly
Tell me where you were when i was at the airport, these planes fall from the sky.

And I wish I had an airport, somedays
Cause some days are just so hard.

I think it's talking about him wanting to get away from his problems. He says "'Cause some days are just so hard". It also has something to do with a failed relationship, and her lack of being there. I think he wants to go, and now that he does, she doesn't. I'm not sure, it's shady.

i think it's talking about the girl having a way to get away and he wants to have a way to get away and when he tries to get away from life with her... she doesn't want to..

I LOVE THIS BAND! They are soooo awesome! this song is really good, like the rest of their stuff. I think it's about him and his highschool girlfriend, Kelly, and the trials they've been through, and how ahrd it's been on them.

This song is so awesome. Those last words he says, when he says "Cause some days are just so hard" it kills me inside. What an awesome song, so powerful, and uplifting.

Okay, i honestly think this song is about a forbiden childhood love that was lost through the years."You little creep, That's what she said, these quotes from your mother, get better every day" the mother didnt care for the boy and wanted her to get away from him. she was the girl next door to him type of thing though. the girl he is singing about probably was the only one that knew the boy. but one day she was able to get away and he too wished he could just run away from his troubles."She said planes made her feel like she could get away" then he says " wish I had an Airport...Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard". and their memories, of just being together and carefree were memories that he held close to him, probably his only good memories of growing up. "And we hung like space stations and rocketships/And dreamed like we were things of the sky/We dressed like kings and queens and lovers/And shouted out into the night 'we're never gonna die'" . their love/friendship was never supposed to die out no matter the distance that was between them. they were supposed to keep in touch, but since she moved away... she moved on."And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call/And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full/And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time/And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line./(And you don't seem to mind)" yup, she moved on and wasnt there anymore for him. "Where were you when I was at the airport,/where were you when i wanted to fly/Tell me where you were when i was at the airport, these planes fall from the sky. " he wanted to move on also, he was ready to leave his past and meet up with her and they could live out their dreams, but she wasnt there. "these planes fall from the sky." his dreams and hopes were ruined they no longer existed, he couldnt fly without a destination, she was gone.

missing a line: i'm not fighting a war
And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. ::i'm not fighting a war:: and it seems to me that we'd been here before

The song "Falling For You" is really by a band called Student Rick, not Something Corporate. Just to clarify!

This song is very complex and first its about childhood as life does so it works out. The airports symbalize wanting to get away.
"And I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport...Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard"
this talks of how he was in a detoz ward wich im guessin for alchol or drugs I dont know if this is autobigrphical or not.
of cource sayin some days are just to hard is so true and sad sounding
then with all this sadness and agnst the courus comes in..... And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die" its like waht you say after a great crazy night during ur teenage years and wile you feel imortal. Then when thats over youre back to feelin down. Then it goes into the relationship thing....And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time
And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line.
I know the feeling of taking showers just to pass the time before you are suposed to see a girl
then it goes on to say....And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer...its new years the most fun night of the year but hes just thinking of how fun summer is which everyone agress with.
then there is the whole war thing but its not posted on the site but I think what he says is true but he like others rebels against the idea of war. and then he says "i wish I had airports someday" as in he wants to get away one day. then the pause.....and the dramtic finish to one of the most powerful songs ever great lyrics.
Something Corporate rocks!!!!!!!


Cant nobody do it like 311 fucking up compitition because there really is none

i love this song.... i play it all the time. something corporate is my favorite band, the only band where i can honestly say i love every song of theirs. i am yet to hear a soco song that disappoints... there just isn't one. they are all beautiful and brilliantly written by andrew and played by the entire band. i hope to see them one day in concert, they are on top of my list of people to see in concert, hopefully meet, and thank them for the impact their music has made in my life. if you haven't heard this song, you must download it! http://simplysoco.com is a great fan site for downloads, they have pretty much any song you could want!!!

This is one of my favorite songs by Soco (other than Konstantine) and I love it. Its very complex and emotional, and I think everyone can relate to it atleast once in thier life. I think its about wanting to get away and partly about a failing relationship.

I personaly think it's like a Romeo and Juliet thing, that their parents hate eachother, but the kids want to be together. The part where he sings: "And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. But I'm not fighting a war" is like, the parents want him to not like the girl, but he's telling them that he's not going to be mean to her or anything just because they don't like her parents.

yeah "falling for you" def isn't by soco. it sounds like a cross between blink (the vocals) and good charlotte (the beat). what tipped me off...was the lack of piano. thats why i love soco, they have that individuality.

I Love This Song And All..
But Meanings Aside,
Does Anyone Have Any Guitar/Piano Tabs/Notes Or Anything For This Song?
Besides Lyrics Obviously.
