Some things are out of our control
The time, a storm, a flight
Sometimes it's just a feeling,
but stuck might be your night
The only thing you can decide
is how you choose to act
What's next for you, what will you do
with all the stuff you’ve packed?
Attention passengers flying on Flight 178b to Edmonton.

Hey mom, just calling you with an update.
So, you’re probably still sleeping, but I didn’t want you to be worried when you woke up.
I don’t think I’m gonna be there on time.
Call me if you can. I love you.
There was this girl
on a previous flight
Well, she got drunk and
she got in a fight
Our flight’s been grounded,
and now we have no plane
So I won’t make it home
'till late Christmas day.
I’m spending Christmas morning,

Flight delayed since midnight
I’ve never seen so many glares
All these people are exhausted
They just lay across the chairs
Nothing’s open anyway
So I’ll just sit here by the stairs
Our Christmas breakfast
was always omelettes no yolk
I’d have some chips but
the vending machine’s broke
No baking cookies,
and no yearly eggnog
I’ll celebrate the season
missing my dog
I’m spending Christmas morning,
in an airport somewhere
So much for my spending double
on the peak time airfare
Merry Christmas through my cell phone
Just send all your thoughts and prayers
I’ll get there when I get there,
please just know i really care
I’ve really missed you, away at college
been eager to spend some time
I haven’t been there, I must acknowledge
I’m still learning to say goodbye
So when you wake up just know I love you
Sorry I’m not by your side
I couldn’t make it for Christmas morning
even though i really tried
I’m spending Christmas morning,
away from the ones that I love
Without dad being around
I think that it’s really been tough
I’m all alone here, but so are you
I wish I could help you make it through
But I’m spending Christmas morning
in an airport somewhere
If only in my —
