๐ Lyrics
The advice I got a long time ago is really true
It's don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
Telling it exactly the way it happened
Won't make people feel what I felt
Because in my head it was much worse than that
In my head it was the busiest airplane in the world
But it felt lonely and so Matt Alderman and Tiffany Goss
We had never met before
And I had just gone through that experience
And so telling them the story
It was nice to have them there
To kind of help me navigate what was true and real
And what would then also need to be changed
A little bit to make the audience feel what I felt
Nobody, wants to spend a holiday going through a breakup
And so I think that's what is connecting for people
I'm kind of grateful for the experience
Because it's been a song that's helped me as an artist
And a songwriter connect to a lot of people
So again, it wasn't the most fun but I'm grateful for it
I'm home for seven days, and I haven't even seen your face
I guess, I got a flight, to change
There ain't nothin' left, to say
If you really don't have it figured out, by now
There's no need for me, to hang around
I gotta get out of town
Five-dollar drink, and a lonely, window seat
Half-empty plane, on New Year's Eve
Lovebirds, in the row, in front of me
Are drivin' me, crazy
The pilot comes on, says, the year, is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me, and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here, to kiss me
You ain't here, to kiss me
Raise a toast, to the thought, of you and me
This was just the way, it had to be
Ninety-proof, to give me clarity
The flight attendant must know, that something's goin' on
Can't hide the look of love, gone wrong
So, she's pourin' them, a little strong
Five-dollar drink, and a lonely, window seat
Half-empty plane, on New Year's Eve
Lovebirds, in the row, in front of me
Are drivin' me, crazy
The pilot comes on, says, the year, is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me, and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here, to kiss me
You ain't here, to kiss me
At least, we had a chance to know, how it feels, to love
But it turns out, love, ain't always enough
So, I'll start, gettin' over you
Five-dollar drink, and a lonely, window seat
Half-empty plane, on New Year's Eve
Lovebirds, in the row, in front of me
Are drivin' me, crazy
The pilot comes on, says, the year, is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me, and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here, to kiss me
You ain't here, to kiss me
No, no
You ain't here, to kiss me
It's don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
Telling it exactly the way it happened
