‘SYD to LAX’ is a melodic ballad describes the irony of strangers forming an intimate bond within the confines of a long international flight, only to part ways and never see each other again.
lyrics
Laying face to face
If you don't flinch then I won't turn away
And bent all out of shape
On this 15 hour flight we can barely stay awake
I just wanna be back home,
But I don't want to be alone
So lay us down to rest
When I tell you bout' myself feels like a test
A high above ground
Now your fast asleep, swear I won't make a sound
I just wanna be back home,
But I don't want to be alone
And wake from vacant rest
To something I wouldn't touch never mind digest
To kiss both cheeks,
Shake hands, farewell, I promise I'll write next week
I just wanna be back home,
But I don't want to be alone
I just wanna be,
But I don't want to be back home
