Lax To O'hare Lyrics & Chords By The Academy Is...

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
Well 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 nowhere
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
Between 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
"Well, 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...
(Make)
It was a plane ride (plane ride)
It was a plain ride (plain ride)
It was a plain ride
Just a plane...
Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way
Standing at the back door with the life that I'd 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
