Aisle Seat to Infinity

[Verse 1]
Boarding pass folded in my coat
Seat 18A, a paper boat
Clouds peel back like pages turning
Somewhere below, the rivers are burning
A kid counts fields through oval glass
A cart rolls by, the moments pass
I keep collecting borrowed views
And little lives I’ll never choose

[Pre-Chorus]
A hundred miles of almost-known
Each window frames a world alone

[Chorus]
Aisle seat to infinity, carry me through
Past a thousand little worlds I never knew
Kick, turn, stumble—then we’re airborne again
Strangers trading small goodbyes between the bends
Aisle seat to infinity, mile after mile
A whole life passing by in a half-second smile

[Verse 2]
A woman sleeps with her book held wide
Two paper cups sway side to side
A mountain flashes, then it’s gone
The cabin hums and the day moves on
Someone laughs at a message received
Someone watches the coastline recede
I’m traveling far, but what stays with me
Is the brief, bright ordinary

[Pre-Chorus]
A hundred miles of almost-known
Each window frames a world alone

[Chorus]
Aisle seat to infinity, carry me through
Past a thousand little worlds I never knew
Kick, turn, stumble—then we’re airborne again
Strangers trading small goodbyes between the bends
Aisle seat to infinity, mile after mile
A whole life passing by in a half-second smile

[Bridge]
No map can hold the passing faces
No clock can keep these borrowed places
A tiny wave, a shared refrain
Then clouds close up and we’re gone again

[Final Chorus]
Aisle seat to infinity, carry me through
Past a thousand little worlds I never knew
Kick, turn, stumble—then we’re airborne again
Strangers trading small goodbyes between the bends
Aisle seat to infinity, mile after mile
A whole life passing by in a half-second smile

[Outro]
Between the cart and the clouds above
I watch the world—and call it enough
