Blue October Lyrics
"The Flight (Lincoln to Minneapolis)"

INTRO:
I'm asking you one question.
Do you want me to sign away the rights as a father to my daughter
So that you'll leave me alone and let Blue be happy?
Everything is...
She's so happy.
I wish you knew that.
She is happy, I know but...
She's such a happy girl.
I'm I'm I'm I'm asking to just...
How do I...?
I think that your right.
I don't think your ready for a family Justin.
I'm not ready for a...?
And when you are, I hope that you have one with...
With somebody that...
That you treat much better than you did us.
But I think at this point you should probably acknowledge
that fact that...
That...?
You have failed miserably.
VERSE 1:
No joke took a breath and then awoke.
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke.
Saying Sir can you help me, mam could you please?
So they lead me to the pay phone flagging down the police.
"Mr. Officer, I know who I am; the rest of me my memory
I just don't understand.
I do know that I'm unsafe man with a plan
Of getting on a plane, fly away to kill a man."
Like a freight train; threat to myself.
I got a history of blackouts, bad mental health.
So, Both cops each arm, alarm,
no harm, disarm, pat down, do the body check.
Next thing I was a walking on the airfield.
Backseat I was a heading to hospital.
I'm sorry for the drama that I bring through the screen.
He said "Son you did the right thing."
CHORUS:

Please help me understand why you can't talk man to man.
But you can stand with your dick in your head.
You're acting like a pussy man.
Hey! Hey!

VERSE 2:
I was faithful to my wife and now we're separated.
Use to try to win her in the back, I underestimated.
Like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact
That she gave that ass up and never fucking dated.
See your better than that.
You're a diamond, he's a rough real tough man
Call a brother back
Just a pussy with a dick stand up and be a fucking man.
Hiding from the husband scared to make a peep and...
Livin up in Lincoln
Now I'm in the deep end.
Think I'm gonna break in, smash your fucking face in.
Cut you up with lemon juice and watch you try to fuck then.
(CHORUS) X2

VERSE 3:
Is that beat up?
Is that beat up yet?
Please help me understand.
Why you can't talk man-to-man.
Is that beat up?
Is that beat up yet?

I wish that I were man enough
To turn my back and leave
To forget all the tricks you pull,
And hide them in my sleeve
I know what's best for table play,
I know what's best for me
I know this life is way too short, to let you kill a dream.
I know you're capable to only love me when I'm there
I know it's hell to keep the peace
Inside your heart and head
But I'm always gone and what you're left with is my song
You're sick of listening to anything turn me off instead.

You used to call me cool, believed in what I'd say
Never seen me as a failure or a mother fucking fake
But over time we changed into this little ball of hate
We shared a bedroom,
But the bedroom had a bed we never made so
I'm done with holding this in
I'm done with being a friend
I'd like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen
No one can stop me,.try to stop me...
Just try to stop me...

(CHORUS) X2
