October 21st Lyrics

Haley Joelle October 21st

[Verse 1]
I was supposed to go to LAX
Get dropped off at Delta by a friend
Pay a bag fee 'cause I overpacked
And call you from the gate to tell you that

[Pre-Chorus]
You were supposed to laugh and you'd say, "It's fine"
And ten 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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Today's the day I used to dream about
I guess not all dreams actually turn out
I was nervous 'cause I don't speak French
Now I'll nevеr try to learn again

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're not gonna laugh and you won't say, "It's finе"
Or ten 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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I was supposed to go to LAX
But now you're just the stranger I know best
