Name: Turbulence
Duration: P00H03M13S
Description: Stemming from genuine fear, Turbulence was written in the middle of turbulence on a flight to avoid thinking of turbulence. Surrounded by many strangers on the plane, Amanda felt like she was dealing with this alone, but like with many other situations in life, we're not special and other people do feel the same thing.

Stemming from genuine fear, Turbulence was written in the middle of turbulence on a flight to avoid thinking of turbulence. Surrounded by many strangers on the plane, Amanda felt like she was dealing with this alone, but like with many other situations in life, we're not special and other people do feel the same thing.

lyrics

The plane I’m on isn’t steady, not at all
I feel like it is just about to fall
And I haven't bought insurance
This is just a rare occurrence
But I feel the need to curl into a ball
Turbulence is not the best thing in the world
It gives me nausea and it makes my head swirl
And just like roller coasters
I hate when it goes down
Hold up, I feel like I’m about to hurl
They told us that there is another plane
Approximately twenty miles ahead of us
So here we are, just stuck feeling unsteady for awhile
Oh how I wish that our plane went first
Apart from the instability, the seatbelt sign is on
So I can’t leave my seat to take a piss
The cabin crew are not allowed to move around
How much longer until we’re back on solid ground
My eyes are closed so the movement’s out of sight
And this never-ending portion of the flight
Better not last 7 hours
I may need some whisky sours
I’m so scared, I’m gonna lose it, I just might
They told us that there is another plane
Approximately twenty miles ahead of us
So here we are, just stuck feeling unsteady for awhile
Oh how I wish that our plane went first
I’m actually really hungry
And that’s not helping things
I should’ve had some chicken
Or a box of onion rings
But I only have myself to blame
Yes, you can say you told me so
Until we land, I’m starving
Why’s the plane in front of us.. so slow
(Why’s it going oh so slow-ly
Time enough to do the hokey-pokey
Why’s it going oh so slow-ly
Why)
They told us that there is another plane
Approximately twenty miles ahead of us
So here we are, just stuck feeling unsteady for awhile
Oh how I wish that our plane went first
They told us that there is another plane
Approximately twenty miles ahead of us
So here we are, just stuck feeling unsteady for awhile
Oh how I wish that our plane went first
