Flight
Casual Fan Lyrics

The lyrics of Casual Fan's "Flight" poetically describe a sense of urgency and longing as the singer desperately races through an airport in order to catch a flight and reunite with someone dear to them. The song begins with the line "June 17th I missed my flight on the way back home again," setting the scene of the singer's predicament. Having missed their flight and spending "a few days in a northern state," the lyrics then ponder the passage of time and the lost years since the two have been together, singing "We were so much older then, 25 years in the making, what's it gonna take to lose 25 more years on this earth but not like I just did?" The song's chorus and refrain implore the listener to wait for them, imploring "Don't wanna miss my flight again, can't wait to see your face again," before the song concludes with the singer wondering if their love and connection will endure, asking "This makes a mockery of us and time, will you save me a spot in the line, I'll be there in a little while."

One interpretation of the song's message is the idea that, just as the singer is racing to catch their flight, time never stops or waits for anyone, and life is constantly moving forward. The chorus can be seen as a plea to a loved one to patiently wait for them to arrive in order to make up the lost time and continue their relationship. It's a romantic and passionate song about the importance of people in our lives, and the value of time spent together.
