I don’t think that is how the song went, the guy who was afraid to fly ended up getting on a plane, which crashed just like he was afraid it would.
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, “Well, isn’t this nice?”

Perhaps it’s supposed to be ironic that the one time he took the risk was the time it crashed
Ah, shit, I forgot she actually specified “take that flight” in it.
(my comment was supposed to be only a joke, but yeah it doesn’t work as I had intended)
Just because he waited his whole life for the flights doesn’t mean he didn’t chicken out at the last minute and take a train.
