LAX to O'Hare - The Academy Is...

It was a plane ride from LAX to O’Hare

And what happened next was a series of unfortunate events

(Please stay tuned for what happened next…)

The life I breathe for you gives to me new wounds

Well to patch and dress as I reflect on what else I could give you

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith

Into the next thing that comes my way

Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind

Are we all the same behind the frame

Beneath the glass and fake last names?

I’ve been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back

It was a big bang

And a bright white light from no where

It turned my coach class window to

A first class seat on the evening news, on NBC

The life I gave for you is yours

So keep it, you oughta keep it

If I had one last chance to take it all back

You know I’d take take take you

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith

Into the next thing that comes my way

Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind

Are we all the same behind the frame

Between the glass and fake last names?

I’ve been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back

«Apologies are all we’ll ever be,» she said

Standing on the stairs

Looking back, looking hard at me

«Well, life is long for those who have to wait,» I said

It’s the choice I had to make

The choice I had to make

It’s the choice I had to…

(Make)

It was a plane ride.

(plane ride)

It was a plain ride.

(plain ride)

It was a plain ride

Just a plane…

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith

Into the next thing that comes my way

Standing at the back door with the life that I’d left behind

If we know the way we’re gonna die

Through everything else we will survive

I’ve been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back-

Yeah

But one day

I will stay
