I Missed the Plane Song Lyrics
I Missed the Plane by Brendan Benson [Verse 1]
All my life, I've been searching for the right thing to say
And that's a long time to search for the right words
And I watch their faces change expressions as they're talking at me
They're so quick to repeat what they've heard
[Chorus]
I miss the meaning, I miss the pain
I missed the meeting, I missed the plane (Run, run, run, run)
I missed the plane
[Verse 2]
And I'll look back on my life and see it all so clearly
Every wrong that I done and everyone that I've wronged
And in the hour of my darkness, having all this regret
Well, doesn't that just sound so appealing?
[Chorus]
I miss the meaning, I miss the pain
I missed the meeting, I missed the plane (Run, run, run, run)
I missed the plane
Ooh, I missed the plane
[Refrain]
I used to need, I used to want
I use the weed, I used to not
I used to be the one you want
I used to breathe all on my own
[Verse 3]
Spent my life looking down until there was no life left
Then I looked up to find no one with me
My only friend now is a fly buzzing 'round in my room
And isn't this just the perfect ending?
[Chorus]
I miss the meaning, I miss the pain
I missed the meeting, I missed the plane
Your love is a needle and you hit a vein
It flows in my blood and goes straight to my brain
I missed the plane
I missed the plane
Ooh, I missed the plane
[Refrain]
I used to need, I used to want
I use the weed, I used to not
I used to be the one you want
I used to breathe all on my own
[Outro]
My only friend now is a fly
(I used to be the only one)
