Later Flight
Jack River Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I'm coming home
You say "Take all your time
Precious thing of mine"
Baby will you stay tonight?
Will you take the later flight
Dream, I dream a thousand more
Lying there, on your floor
Lying there, on your floor
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you feel it?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you feel it?
I will love you for all of my life
I know, I know
I will be forever by your side, I know
Taking all the things tonight
Tripping like a tiny child
You just have to do all the funny things you do to get me high
All your funny things you do to get me high
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you feel it?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you feel it?
I will love you for all of life
I know, I know
I will be forever by your side, I know
We're moving in the dark now
Can't stop the night without your touch
Say it like you want to
Say you'll love me forever
What a thing to say
What a thing, what a thing to feel this way
What a thing to say
What a thing, what a thing to feel this way
Do you feel it?
I will love you for all of my life
I know, I know
Say you'll love me forever
I will be forever by your side, I know
Say you'll love me forever

Throughout the song, the singer expresses their love and devotion to their partner, stating that they will love them forever and be by their side always. They are seeking confirmation that these feelings are reciprocated, asking their partner if they feel it too. Despite this uncertainty, the singer is willing to take a risk and surrender themselves to their partner, allowing themselves to be vulnerable and trusting in their love.
In essence, "Later Flight" is a love song about the desire for security and the willingness to take risks in the name of love. It demonstrates the complexity of relationships and the human need for reassurance and vulnerability in order to build lasting connections with others.
