Watching the sky this morning
Three planes flying across the blue
And a couple of birds up in the heaven tree
Everyone loves a 360 view

[Chorus]
Hey, you're a vapor trail
And you burn white hot
You're here for a moment
And then you're gone

Lovers before us and lovers forever
Building their castles and tearing them down
Tears keep spilling like you broke the lever
Gonna build up stronger next time around

[Chorus]
Hey, you're a vapor trail
And you burn white hot
You're here for a moment
And then you're gone

Going through our ephemera
Backstage passes to MMJ
Outside the sky keeps changing forever
Reminds me a lot of you and me

[Chorus with Laura Veirs & Jim James]
Hey, you're a vapor trail
And you burn white hot
You're here for a moment
And then you're gone

[Jim James]
Watching the sky this morning
Three planes flying across the blue
And a couple of birds up in the heaven tree
Everyone loves a 360 view
[Chorus with Laura Veirs & Jim James]
Hey, you're a vapor trail
And you burn white hot
You're here for a moment
And then you're gone

Hey, you're a vapor trail
And you burn white hot
You're here for a moment
And then you're gone
