‘SYD to LAX’ is a melodic ballad describing 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 it feels like a test
And 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
