Outbound Plane

Don’t wanna be standing here with this ticket for that outbound plane

I’ve been here before yet somehow this doesn’t feel the same

Talk is cheap though we can talk all night long

You may never figure out, yeah, where our love’s gone wrong

And I don’t wanna be standing here

And I don’t wanna be talking here

And I don’t really care who’s to blame

If love won’t fly on its own free will

It’s gonna catch that outbound plane

Old people say love's not forever anymore

Young people walk away from love alone to pace the floor

Young or old, I say that love is still the same

You can walk away from love but you'll fall head and heels again

And I don’t wanna be standing here

And I don’t wanna be talking here

And I don’t really care who’s to blame

If love won’t fly on its own free will

It’s gonna catch that outbound plane

Two lonely hearts in this airport knowin’

Ain’t neither heart knows which way the other heart’s goin’

If love won’t fly on its own free will

It’s gonna catch that outbound plane

That frown you’re wearin’ that’s your halo turned upside down

Where’s the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found

These broken wings they’re gonna leave me here to stand my ground

You can have that ticket for that lonely plane that's headed out

And I don’t wanna be standing here

And I don’t wanna be talking here

And I don’t really care who’s to blame

If love won’t fly on its own free will

It’s gonna catch that outbound plane

If love won’t fly on its own free will

It’s gonna catch that outbound plane
