lyrics

Crash landing why so calm?
They taught you to get through it all
In the moment we're all going down
You guide us safe and sound

Three minutes is all that you get
Before you have to regret
All the phone calls and letters you didn't send
All the clothes and the problems you couldn't mend

Unable to fail

When we took off on this flight
We never envisioned our plight
We made a sacrifice
As birds do when we fly

And we the standers by
So helpless unable to try
We got our boats and blankets nye
Cuz we refused to fail
We refused to fail

Unable to fail
Unable to fail
As birds do

Unable to fail
Unable to fail
Oooh
Oooh
etc...

Crash landing why so calm?
