Runway Lights Never Lie

Verse

Duffel bag zipped, the porch light stutters gray

Six words on a napkin, that's all I'll say

Cracked windshield catching the terminal glow

Runway's humming low, telling me to go

Pre-Chorus

So I'm counting down the seconds

Watching numbers turn to sky

Every gate's a door I'm walking through

And I won't ask why

Chorus

Runway lights never lie

They just point and let you fly

Every strip of gold on the black tarmac

Says there's no such thing as looking back

Engines roar like they know my name

Nothing here is ever gonna be the same

Runway lights never lie

So watch me go, watch me go, watch me go

Verse

Left my keys in the mailbox, let the dust settle in

Traded closets full of ghosts for a canvas thin

Boarding pass folded soft in my shaking hand

This is the only map I understand

Pre-Chorus

So I'm counting down the seconds

Watching numbers turn to sky

Every gate's a door I'm walking through

And I won't ask why

Chorus

Runway lights never lie

They just point and let you fly

Every strip of gold on the black tarmac

Says there's no such thing as looking back

Engines roar like they know my name

Nothing here is ever gonna be the same

Runway lights never lie

So watch me go, watch me go, watch me go

Bridge

Maybe I was scared of the wide-open blue

Maybe I was built for a life I never knew

But the tower's calling numbers and the wind is calling too

So I'm answering the only way I know I can do

Chorus

Runway lights never lie

They just point and let you fly

Every strip of gold on the black tarmac

Says there's no such thing as looking back

Engines roar like they know my name

Nothing here is ever gonna be the same

Runway lights never lie

So watch me go, watch me go

Runway lights never lie

So watch me go, watch me go, watch me go
