Another track for BRIGHTON (my FAWM album).
I met you in an airport, at first our flights aligned
Played cribbage in a coffee shop until departure time
One minute in anxiety, the next one spent in awe
I couldn’t wait to touch down in Denver, it seemed to take so long
I thought I’d make this airline home until we built our own
Weekend flights and calls at night, let what we started grow
Window seats with perfect views of the miles in between
Dreaming of the days to come, just the doctor and me
We found once we were in the air yours landed before mine
I asked if you would wait for me, you promised that you’d tried
Everything in transit, I was living in between
You wanted something permanent, and you wouldn’t wait for me
I thought I’d make this airline home until we built our own
Weekend flights and calls at night, let what we started grow
Window seats with perfect views of the miles in between
Dreaming of the days to come, just the doctor and me
I booked a flight back home, alone, I guess I should have known
Expect an unexpected change when you make an airline home
I see why Andrew sang of airports: there’s no answers there
Just passengers and passports going up and down the stairs
I met you in an airport, at first our flights aligned
It took a while to realize we had different landing times

Yes! Love the intro/interludes which sets the scene. Great story and imagery. The vocal delivery is great and I like the contract between quick and long. Great lyric and extended metaphor. Nice!

Great lyrics. The melodies are awesome and your vocals are strong and really carry the song. Nice one
