Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you gotta be beside me?
Watchin', needin', wanting me
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Don't be, don't
Lilah, I know it's getting late
And I'm struggling to let go
Although there's distance between us
There's no place I'd rather be
Owe you some hospitality
And it comes so naturally
Promise, I just need some more time
If you can bear with me
When last did we feel this close together?
Chasing sunsets in California
Don't make me wait babe, it's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Trust me, I'm starting to realize
And look beyond my fears
Sun keeps on turning to twilight
Baby, we don't have long
I can't keep my hands off you
All night, all my love
You say it's getting too late
Baby, don't be afraid
When last did we feel this close together?
Chasing sunsets in California
Don't make me wait babe, it's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Giddy up, girl, best I can do
Go follow where the wind blow, mm
Sometimes we all feel hollow
My heart girl, you can borrow, mm
Please don't make this song about you
Please don't make this song about you
Please don't make this song about you
Please don't make this song about you
In "Flight's Booked," Drake explores themes of vulnerability, fear, and love. The song seems to be a conversation between Drake and a woman named Lilah, with Drake expressing his hesitation to fully open up to her. He acknowledges his fear and pleads with Lilah not to be afraid herself, reminding her that they have a strong connection that he doesn't want to let go of. The chorus, "When last did we feel this close together? Chasing sunsets in California," suggests that they have shared intimate moments in the past but have recently been struggling to find each other again.
Drake also touches on the idea of time and urgency in the second verse, noting that although they may have their fears and reservations, they don't have much time left together. He confesses his desire for Lilah and his inability to keep his hands off her, hinting at a physical aspect of their relationship.
The final verse takes a slightly different turn, with Drake addressing the listener directly and pleading with them not to make the song about them. This could suggest that the song was inspired by a real-life relationship, but that Drake does not want to expose too many intimate details or risk hurting someone's feelings.
Overall, "Flight's Booked" is a heartfelt and honest exploration of love and vulnerability, with Drake's introspective lyrics bringing a depth and emotion to the song.

Getting late
Why you gotta be
Beside me
Watching, needing, wanting me
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
Don't— , be—, don't—
[Verse 1]
Lila
I know it's getting late
And I'm struggling to let go
Although there's distance between us
There's no place I'd rather be
Owe you some hospitality
And it comes so naturally
Promise I just need some more time
If you can bear with me
[Chorus]
When last did we feel this closе together?
Chasing sunsets in California
Don't makе me wait, babe, it's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
[Verse 2]
Trust me, I'm starting to realize
And look beyond my fears
Sun keeps on turning to twilight
Baby, we don't have long
I can't keep my hands off you
All night, all my love
You say it's getting too late
Baby, don't be afraid
[Chorus]
When last did we feel this close together?
Chasing sunsets in California
Don't make me wait, babe, it's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
Don't take forever
It's been forever
