Text Me When You Land (Version 2)

Verse

Three a.m. and the taxi's outside

Neon spilling gold on the wet tarmac shine

Your hand on the door but you turn back around

One more kiss before the engine sound

Departure gate lit up like a stage

Boarding pass folded, half your face

Static heartbeat, speakers overhead

Say it soft so I remember what you said

Pre-Chorus

Is this goodbye or just the start

Runway lights like a stuttering heart

Hold my breath till the wheels leave ground

Watch you go without a sound

Chorus

Text me when you land

Text me when you land

Skyline fading out through my hand

Dancing in the dark, don't understand

Text me when you land

Verse

Bassline pulling through the departure hall

Strangers moving like we're one and all

Champagne bubbles on the tarmac floor

Every ending feels like an open door

Clock strikes four and the room starts to spin

Letting go of everything I've been

Your silhouette against the runway light

Burning brighter than the dying night

Pre-Chorus

Is this goodbye or just the start

Runway lights like a stuttering heart

Hold my breath till the wheels leave ground

Watch you go without a sound

Chorus

Text me when you land

Text me when you land

Skyline fading out through my hand

Dancing in the dark, don't understand

Text me when you land

Bridge

Maybe the leaving is the only way we stay

Maybe the missing keeps the feeling from decay

So spin me round before the sun comes through

I'll be the echo waiting here for you

Chorus

Text me when you land

Text me when you land

Skyline fading out through my hand

Dancing in the dark, don't understand

Text me when you land

Outro

Wheels up, gone, but the floor's still moving

Text me when you land
