Read the lyric sheet
Intro
6:12 a.m., silver carry-on, 305 on the tag
Verse 1
6:18, TSA snake by Gate F9 Sock on the tile, belt in the gray bin Kid points, “that’s the clip from last Friday” Mom whispers my line into FaceTime Manager texting, “answer the feature” Second bubble says, “post proof you landed” Upgrade cleared, but my eyes still economy Chain flash hides the wristband dent
Pre-chorus
Screen says BOARDING, body says don’t Name on a flyer I never approved Same card swipe, same carpet, same cologne Every city asks who I’m doing this to
Chorus
Same hallway, different airport Cart clack, phone flash, cold lobby chrome I don’t know the city, I just know the gate Driver asks where to, I just say go Same hallway, different airport First class seat with no one to call I post fifteen seconds so they know I’m moving Then I miss myself in the revolving door
Verse 2
9:43, C17 closes early Bag delayed with the show jeans in it Promoter says, “invoice got routed” Then asks for a selfie by baggage claim Sleep gets cut into vertical proof Eight-second walk with a caption blinking Hilton lobby mirror sells the necklace But the room key sticks at the fourth-floor hinge
Pre-chorus
Voucher in pocket, stomach in knots Upgrade list blessed me, invoice stayed mute Same card swipe, same carpet, same cologne Every city asks who I’m doing this to
Chorus
Same hallway, different airport Cart clack, phone flash, cold lobby chrome I don’t know the city, I just know the gate Driver asks where to, I just say go Same hallway, different airport First class seat with no one to call I post fifteen seconds so they know I’m moving Then I miss myself in the revolving door
Verse 3
2:06, rideshare smells like black ice Driver knows the clip, not the song “Studio ten minutes after radio?” I say yes before the question is done A12, B3, backseat voice notes Random freestyle by a vending machine One-bulb booth with a locked side door Everybody calls it motion when it eats me
Pre-chorus
Free water bottle, paid smile cracked Lounge receipt folded under my phone Same card swipe, same carpet, same cologne Every city asks who I’m doing this for
Chorus
Same hallway, different airport Cart clack, phone flash, cold lobby chrome I don’t know the city, I just know the gate Driver asks where to, I just say go Same hallway, different airport First class seat with no one to call I post fifteen seconds so they know I’m moving Then I miss myself in the revolving door
Verse 4
3:07, Hyatt Place off the service road Ice machine coughing by room 409 TV menu glows on a made bed My shoes sit quiet like they know me I count ceiling dots, not money Ask if a career is a thing or a tunnel Silver carry-on watching from the chair 305 tag bent like it tried to run too
Pre-chorus
Phone face down, still lighting the desk Manager’s message says, “one more, trust me” For once the room isn’t cheering or asking It just holds the question plainly
Chorus
Same hallway, different airport Cart clack, phone flash, cold lobby chrome I don’t know the city, I just know the gate Driver asks where to, I just say go Same hallway, different airport First class seat with no one to call I post fifteen seconds so they know I’m moving Then I miss myself in the revolving door
Verse 5
5:28, I book the next one half-awake ATL layover, LAX maybe 954 missed call under three emails Mom says, “you sound far,” I say, “busy” Marriott points, window seat, no breakfast New chain pic with the same dead eyes Slowing down feels like deleting the proof So I zip the bag before the thought replies
Pre-chorus
Calendar full, room in me empty Still I tap confirm like a dare If motion is smoke, I breathe it daily Scared to stand still and see who’s there
Chorus
Same hallway, different airport Cart clack, phone flash, cold lobby chrome I don’t know the city, I just know the gate Driver asks where to, I just say go Same hallway, different airport First class seat with no one to call I post fifteen seconds so they know I’m moving Then cut the clip at the revolving door
Outro
[Hard stop] Boarding pass in my teeth, zipper bite, cart clack Same hallway Cut.
