Text Me When You Land (version 2) – Josie Nightbus

Verse

Coat check ticket, number thirty-two

Strobe light catches on the sleeve of you

Half past midnight, bassline in my chest

Your hand finds my hand, I forget the rest

Smoke machine and a shaft of blue

Floor's still moving but I'm stuck on you

Didn't get your name, just the curve of a smile

Lost you by the speaker stack, found you in a while

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, are you leaving

Or are you staying till the lights come up

Cah the night's not through with us

Skip a beat, my heart's caught up

Chorus

Text me when you land

Back in your own bed, back in your own hands

Don't let this go quiet like the last one on the train

Text me when you land

So I know you made it home again

Verse

Cloakroom queue and a torn ticket stub

Phone at four percent, we left the club

Rain on the pavement, taxi light glows gold

You said "same time next week" but the moment's cold

Traced your number on my palm in ink

Watched you vanish where the crowd walls sink

Bassbins fading, breath still warm

Half a heartbeat caught inside a storm

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, are you leaving

Or are you staying till the lights come up

Cah the night's not through with us

Skip a beat, my heart's caught up

Chorus

Text me when you land

Back in your own bed, back in your own hands

Don't let this go quiet like the last one on the train

Text me when you land

So I know you made it home again

Bridge

No names, no numbers, just a moment on the floor

A stranger who felt like I'd known you before

If the sun comes up and you're already gone

I'll still be humming this bassline on

One more hour, one more song

One more chance before you're gone

Chorus

Text me when you land

Back in your own bed, back in your own hands

Don't let this go quiet like the last one on the train

Text me when you land

So I know you made it home again
