Flight 22
Kali Uchis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's several exits on this aircraft in the event of an emergency
At this time, please fasten your seat-belts, as we are preparing for take off
And welcome aboard, Flight 22

Been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces, yeah
But nothing like you (you, you, you)
Oh, I met you at the airport
Flight 22 (two, two, two)

I want you to have it all (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I want you to have it all (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I wonder if you really know
What I do for you to have it
I've had it with the waiting and hesitating

So pack all your bags
Don't gotta ask where we're going to
Don't wanna be anywhere if it ain't with you
Nowhere in this world can compare, boy that's the truth
To wherever we're going on Flight 22

I know you've been patient
That's an understatement, yeah
But what can I do? (do, ooh, ooh)
Oh I make myself look silly
Hoping that you hear me
All my girls say that I'm acting a fool
Now touch me, kiss me, catch me, or miss me
Give it, take it, you can't mistake this
Let's get away from it all

So pack all your bags
Don't gotta ask where we're going to
Don't wanna be anywhere if it ain't with you
Nowhere in this world can compare, boy that's the truth
To wherever we're going on Flight 22

Take me on away
Flight 22 baby, oh oh
And maybe we're not gonna make it
At least I'm going down with you
Our baggage might just be too full on Flight 22

Flight 22
Flight 22

Overall Meaning

The song "Flight 22" by Kali Uchis is a charming track about love and adventure. The lyrics begin with a typical airline welcome message, reminding passengers of emergency exits on the aircraft and asking them to fasten their seatbelts for takeoff. These lines set the tone for the rest of the song and hint at the idea of embarking on a journey. The chorus revolves around the idea of packing bags, leaving everything behind, and embarking on a journey with a loved one. Kali sings that she wants to be with her lover, wherever they're going and that she has grown tired of waiting and hesitating.


In the second verse, Kali talks about her impatience to be with her lover and how much she has done to make the relationship work. She mentions that her friends think she’s acting foolishly by pursuing the relationship, but she doesn’t care. She then tells her lover to touch her, kiss her, catch her, or miss her, insisting that they leave everything behind and go on a romantic adventure together, promising that nothing could compare to wherever they go on Flight 22. The song's final lines suggest that the journey may not be smooth, and there could be baggage weighing them down, but Kali concludes that she would rather go down with her partner than let them go.


Overall, the song is an ode to love and the idea of forgetting about everything and embarking on a journey with a loved one. The opening message about emergency exits and seat belts is a metaphor for the risks we take when we set out on a romantic adventure.
