Lyrics
October 21st
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was supposed to go to LAX
Get dropped off at Delta by a friend
Pay a bag fee 'cause I overpacked
And call you from the gate to tell you that
You were supposed to laugh and you'd say: It's fine
And ten hours in the air would fly right by
Then I'd board the plane and say: I'll see you soon
Oh, two months ago I'd say all this was true
But people change, I don't know why
You couldn't wait, you couldn't try
Oh, I won't forget this date in time
Probably for the rest of my life
I was supposed to be on that flight
Today's the day I used to dream about
I guess not all dreams actually turn out
I was nervous 'cause I don't speak French
Now I'll never try to learn again
'Cause you're not gonna laugh and you won't say: It's fine
Or ten hours in the air will fly right by
I won't board the plane or say: I'll see you soon
Oh, two months ago I'd say this wasn't true
But people change, I don't know why
You couldn't wait, you couldn't try
Oh, I won't forget this date in time
Probably for the rest of my life
I was supposed to be on that flight
I was supposed to be there tonight
I was supposed to be on that flight
I was supposed to be there tonight
I was supposed to go to LAX
But now you're just the stranger I know best
