Delta I406 Lyrics

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say and it seems so jaded
Every place I go it feels so jaded
There's people all around but I'm all alone

The clock in my head won't stop tickin, tickin
The phone in my hand rings all day long
I been in L.A. for almost five months now
I try to pretend that it feels like home (oh, oh)

Maybe I flew too far
Shooting stars leave no mark

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say ind it seems so jaded (jaded)
Every place I go it feels so jaded (jaded)
There's people all around but I'm all alone

I know my dad only got a few years now
He's gon' cry when he hears this song
And things with mom have become so weird now
I gotta book hotels for my Detroit shows (oh, oh)

Maybe I flew too far
Shooting stars leave no mark

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say and it seems so jaded (jaded)
Every place I go it feels so jaded (jaded)
There's people all around but I'm all alone (oh no)

Cooler Than Me

Please Don't Go

I Took a Pill in Ibiza

Bow Chicka Wow Wow

Gone in September

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say and it seems so jaded
Every place I go it feels so jaded
There's people all around but I'm all alone

The clock in my head won't stop tickin, tickin
The phone in my hand rings all day long
I been in L.A. for almost five months now
I try to pretend that it feels like home (oh, oh)

Maybe I flew too far
Shooting stars leave no mark

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say ind it seems so jaded (jaded)
Every place I go it feels so jaded (jaded)
There's people all around but I'm all alone

I know my dad only got a few years now
He's gon' cry when he hears this song
And things with mom have become so weird now
I gotta book hotels for my Detroit shows (oh, oh)

Maybe I flew too far
Shooting stars leave no mark

I can't come down
Not today
I feel alright
They believe every word I say and it seems so jaded (jaded)
Every place I go it feels so jaded (jaded)
There's people all around but I'm all alone (oh no)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's his quick rise to fame that's getting to him. It's a song about him being homesick. He even said he wrote it on the flight Delta 1406 from Detroit to LA. He's a stranger around everyone and he's growing apart from his home. Maybe he also regrets leaving everything behind. His fame is a big subject here, especially when he says "Shooting stars leave no mark" meaning that rising to fame too fast means you'll just fall back soon, and have nothing to show for it.
