Story Behind The Song

true story happened on a flight from Memphis To L.A.

Song Description

seeing someone she hasn't seen in so many years, she doesn't know if he even recognizes her, but she doesn't respond to him and regrets losing her 2nd chance with him

Lyrics

MEMPHIS TO L.A.

VERSE

Did you know it was me, before we got on that flight
Been so many years, I look different, no I didn't notice you, I guess I was preoccupied
You're the last one I'd expect, because I'd tucked you away
With all the foolish little girl dreams that never did happen, that seem so passe

PRE-CHORUS

Well, you're friends were having a real good time
Who's that hot chick who's standing in line
Well it was only me unaware this time of you
Didn't know what to do

CHORUS

I lost my chance that day, flying MEMPHIS TO L.A.
Of all the places you could be
So close to me, I felt you breathe, but I could not
Even catch my breath or even think of
One single word to say
I let you fly-away

VERSE

So what the hell did I do, walked to the back of the plane
Had you captive for 3 hours, I froze like a statue, my friends said I must be insane
No- you did not approach me, though you walked by me once
Guess you don't know the things that I do, you chose someone else, didn't know I was the one

PRECHORUS

And I sat there silent like the idiot I'd become
You rendered me speechless, you rendered me numb
Before this I'd been proud of how far I'd come to forget you
Didn't know what to do-

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I looked into your eyes for what seemed an eternity
Till you looked away, now you're probably scared of me
But I'm not a psycho bitch, I'm just a casualty
Of my life without you, I know we were meant to be
But you don't know, or you don't seem to care at all
You're always depressed, always down, though you got it all
While I'm just a mess who broke down in the face of it all
I lost my chance, lost my chance, I lost my...

CHORUS 2X

VERSE

Did you know it was me, before we got on that flight
Do you wonder why I keep on surfacing, wandering in and out of your life
