LAX to O'hare

It was a plane ride from LAX to O'hare,
and what happened next was a series of unfortunate events.
(please stay tuned for what happened next...)
The life I breathe for you gives to me new wounds
to patch and dress as I reflect on what else I could give you.
Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way.
standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
beneath the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.
It was a big bang
and a bright white light from no where.
It turned my coach class window to
a first class seat on the evening news on NBC.
The life I gave for you is yours
so keep it, you oughtta keep it.
If I had one last chance to take it all back
you know I'd take take take you.
Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
beneath the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.
"Apologies are all we'll ever be," she said.
standing on the stairs
looking back, looking hard at me.
"Life is long for those who have to wait," I said.
It's the choice I had to make.
The choice I had to make.
It's the choice I had to...
It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plain ride. (plain ride)
It was a plain ride.
Just a plain...
Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way.
standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
If we know the way we're gonna die
through everything else we will survive.
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back
Yeah.
But one day,
I will stay.
