Basement Tapes - Sender Receiver Lyrics

She's gonna board that flight tonight

Climbing to cruise her heart's like a fuse. Ready for a new destination
Once in the air her soul can soar and she steals a secret vacation
Freedom to fly. Off at one gate and on at the other
From the arms of one lover to those of another

Just a numbing fixation
Circle for landing. Permission control
Stuck in a pattern. No where to go
Got no approach. No open runway
Searching for that place... to touch down

Sender receiver, no he'll never leave her. Hangin' on until she goes down
Try as she might to enjoy the flight, her heart is still stuck on the ground
Get to the gates and gather the baggage, just like a merry go round
Sweep up the ashes of old boarding passes. Her soul is lost and not found

In-flight instruction. Prepare for the worst. She's going down and it isn't her first
Sends her away knowing heartache won't stay
Receiver can't see her. He just wants to feel her. Hoping that she'll want to play
Sender can't find her. Just a reminder. This plane is probably cursed

Just a numbing fixation
Circle for landing. Permission control
Stuck in a pattern. No where to go
Got no approach. No open runway
Searching for that place... to touch down

Sender receiver, no he'll never leave her. Hangin' on until she goes down
Try as she might to enjoy the flight, her heart is still stuck on the ground
Get to the gates and f*ck with the baggage, just like a merry go round
Sweep up the ashes of old boarding passes. Her soul is lost and not found
