Leaving on a Jet Plane
The Macarons Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm standin′ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morning
The taxi′s waitin′, he's blowin′ his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
′Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I′ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There′s so many times I've let you down
So many times I′ve played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I′ll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you′ll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I′m leaving on a jet plane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time I′ll let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won′t have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you′ll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I′m leaving on a jet plane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
′Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
The song "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by The Macarons Project is a poignant ballad about the pain of parting ways. The lyrics describe the experience of someone who is about to leave their loved ones behind and embark on a journey, but they are torn between the excitement of the adventure ahead and the sorrow of leaving someone special behind.
The opening verse sets the scene with the singer standing outside their lover's door, feeling heartbroken at the thought of saying goodbye. The dawn is breaking, and the taxi is waiting to take them away. The chorus of the song is a plea for the loved one to kiss them and smile for them, tell them that they'll wait for them, and hold them tight, promising to never let go. The singer is leaving on a jet plane and doesn't know when they will be back again, but they hate the thought of leaving their loved one behind.
The second verse of the song speaks about the past, of times when the singer let down their loved one, but now they have realized that those moments don't mean anything compared to the love they share. The bridge of the song talks about the future, when the singer will return and bring a wedding ring. The final verse is a goodbye kiss, promising to return and dreaming about the time when they won't have to leave alone.

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I have finished packing all my belongings in preparation to depart
I'm standin' here outside your door
I am waiting outside your house to say goodbye
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
I feel bad about waking you up from your sleep just to say farewell
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morning
It's early in the morning, and the sun is starting to rise
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
The taxi is outside waiting for me, honking its horn to alert me
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
I am already feeling very lonely and sad
So kiss me and smile for me
Give me one last kiss and smile before I leave
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise that you will wait for me until I return
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Embrace me tightly and make me feel loved
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I'm departing on a plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
I am uncertain about when I will return
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I don't want to leave you, my love
There's so many times I've let you down
I have disappointed you many times before
So many times I've played around
I have been unfaithful to you many times
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
I am now telling you that those actions didn't matter to me, and I am sorry
Every place I go, I think of you
I cannot stop thinking about you no matter where I am
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
I will dedicate every song I perform to you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
When I return, I will give you your wedding ring as a symbol of our love
Now the time has come to leave you
The time has finally come for me to leave you
One more time I'll let me kiss you
Let me kiss you one last time before I go
Then close your eyes
Close your eyes and think of me
I'll be on my way
I will start my journey now
Dream about the days to come
Think about the days when we will be reunited
When I won't have to leave alone
When we will be able to travel together
About the times I won't have to say
Think about the times when we won't have to say goodbye
Oh babe, I hate to go
I really do not want to leave you
