John Mayer – Can't Take That Plane

  General Comment:No, this was a song that was supposed to be on continuum but he felt like it didnt fit right. The song is about always only having to worry about himself and what matter to him, but as the song says, "Now I have a love to lead." Meaning it is no longer just about him anymore
  Bought a ticket for a trip I wanted long ago
  staring deep into crying eyes
  said goodbye, stood in line
  now I changed my mind
  I used to run and never look behind
  
  The trip is just things he could do or wants to do freely outside a relationship
  He breaks up with the girl realizes that is wrong and go back to her because he understands now what being in a relstionship means. He lets go of that idea of his bachlorhood and doesnt get on the plane(meaning he does not choose himself over the relationship).

  General Comment:I am pretty sure this was written for the movie "Cars" and just not used. Certainly fits as it has that movie soundtrack feel to me unlike a lot of his other songs.

  General Comment:I feel that this song is about when he didnt have someone to love him he just wanted to getaway so he booked a trip and then found someone to love him,so now its very hard to leave that person.
