Flight (Jet Plane Charm) lyrics

[Intro]
Uh huh

[Verse 1]
Last time I was on a flight I was racing to see you
I'd packed flip-flops and a new black bathing suit
But from the very moment I got off that plane
All I saw through every window was pewter-colored rain

[Verse 2]
On Friday night you tried to make me smile
But everything about you was faded and diluted
You were much more solid in my memory
Up close you looked like a poor facsimile

[Chorus]
Flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
I never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that plane

[Verse 3]
On Saturday morning we hit the shooting range
And we tried to make homemade pumpkin soup
And we paid too much for that pinball machine
And we both agreed it was so-so
[Verse 4]
We sat inside so much of that long, long weekend
On your grandmother's old furniture—that itchy couch
Broken chair—at least the bed, thank God, was new
By Sunday morning we both knew we were through

[Chorus]
Flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that plane

[Bridge]
I wanna be so close to someone I can count all their eyelashes
Wanna be so close they'll ask to know my mother's middle name
I wanna be so close to someone they'll know what I'm about to say
Wanna be so close to someone—that's why I got on this plane

[Verse 5]
So on Sunday morning we had our talk
And we complimented ourselves for not being mean
And we tried to figure out the best way to still be friends
But what we were really saying was
"The end, the end, the end, the end, the end, the end, the end, the end"

[Chorus]
Flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that plane
Flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that flight, flight
Never should have caught that plane
