Flight 22 Lyrics

[Intro]
There's several exits on this aircraft in the event of an emergency
At this time, please fasten your seat belts, as we are preparing for take off. And welcome aboard, Flight 22


[Verse 1]
Been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces, yeah
But nothing like you (you, you, you)
Oh, met you at the airport
Flight 22 (two, two, two)
I want you to have it all (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I want you to have it all (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I wonder if you really know
What I do for you to have it
I've had it with the waiting and hesitating

[Chorus]
So pack all your bags, don’t gotta ask where we're going to
Don’t wanna be anywhere if it ain't with you
Nowhere in this world can compare, boy that's the truth
To wherever we're going on Flight 22

[Verse 2]
I know you've been patient, that's an understatement, yeah
But what can I do (do, do, do)
Oh, make myself look silly, hoping that you hear me
All my girls say that I'm acting a fool
Now touch me, kiss me, catch me, or miss me
Give it, take it, you can't mistake this
Let's get away from it all
[Chorus]
So pack all your bags, don’t gotta ask where were going to
Don’t wanna be anywhere if it ain't with you
No where in this world can compare, boy that's the truth
To wherever we're going on Flight 22

[Outro]
Take me all the way, Flight 22, baby
And baby we're not gonna make it
At least I'm going down with you
Our baggage might just be too full on Flight 22
Flight 22, Flight 22

On Flight 22, Kali Uchis expresses her adoration for a boy. Going so far as to being unfazed wherever this flight is destined for, because she finds happiness in the fact that they are together. This song, titled Flight 22, refers to the 1967 mid-air collision with Piedmont Airlines Flight 22, which is alluded to in the song’s last verse.

And baby we’re not gonna make it,
At least I’m going down with you
Our baggage might just be too full on Flight 22
Flight 22, Flight 22

And although they will not arrive at their destination, she’s content with going down with her lover. Once again, emphasising her obsession for this boy.

What was it like to perform "Flight 22" at the Daptone House of Soul?
Genius Answer

It was a huge honor. The Dap-Kings made a lot of songs with Amy Winehouse that I really love, along with Sharon Jones and all the other amazing people they’ve worked with. Amy is so many young girls’ influence—she was such an important, impactful icon in music for all of us newcomers growing up.
