Verse 1

 A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old

 I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold

 I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born

 But there's still one thing worse than that

 it's dying without a warning

 It's dying without being warned

Chorus

 So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky

We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives

 But if we don't die today then may this memory remain

 That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

Verse 2

Oh flight attendent could you tell me the story of how you gave up trying to

control your fate and rescue yourself

So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile

If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just

smile?

Chorus

 So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky

We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives

 But if we don't die today then may this memory remain

 That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

Bridge

I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid

At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate

If my work here's complete, before we hit the ground

 May we sing the truth that sets us free

'Cause every second counts

I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid

At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate

If my work here's complete, before we hit the ground

 May we sing the truth that sets us free

'Cause every second counts

Chorus

 So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky

We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives

 But if we don't die today then may this memory remain

 That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

End on D
