Casey James "Crying On A Suitcase" Lyrics
Transcription
Boy don't wait, don't think, don't lock the door behind you Run and jump into your truck, hit the gas, burn some rubber up Yeah your time's running out Do it now Take a shortcut, take a back road, take the shoulder to the exit Skip the parking, screw the ticket, hit the curb and leave it sitting Whatever it takes You gotta get to that gate She's cryin' on a suitcase Sittin' at the airport Waitin' on an airplane Bound to take her out of here Ooh They're gonna call her number She'll sit down by the window The plane'll leave the runway And fade into a goodbye sky You better run while you still got time She's cryin' on a suitcase Admit it boy you blew it, you really messed it up You can make excuses if you really want to lose her It's all on the line, do or die time Getting on your knees time Tell her that you want her, need her, love her, gotta have her Everything good in your life begins and ends with her Lose your pride while you can Come on man be a man She's cryin' on a suitcase Sittin' at the airport Waitin' on an airplane Bound to take her out of here Ooh They're gonna call her number She'll sit down by the window The plane'll leave the runway And fade into a goodbye sky You better run while you still got time She's cryin' on a suitcase She's cryin' on a suitcase Waitin' on the airplane Bound to take her out of here They're gonna call her number She'll sit down by the window The plane'll leave the runway And fade into a goodbye sky You better run while you still got time Well you still got time She's cryin' on a suitcase Waitin' on an airplane She'll fade into a goodbye sky
Content
"Crying on a Suitcase" is a midtempo song about a male who is trying to convince himself to catch up to a former lover at the airport and give the relationship a second chance before her airplane leaves.[1]
James said that he enjoyed the song the first time that he heard it, but also said that he was reluctant to record it because "the guy who sang the demo really sang it".[2]
Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song 3 stars out of 5, saying that James' singing was "appropriately urgent" but that the storyline made it "a difficult song to get into". He also criticized the melody as "choppy".[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered in August 2012.[4]
