October 21st Lyrics

I was supposed to go to LAX

Get dropped off at Delta by a friend

Pay a bag fee cuz 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 10 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 cuz I don't speak French

Now I'll never try to learn again

Cuz you're not gonna laugh

And you won't say it's fine

Or 10 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
