Almost United

[Verse 1]
Boarding pass in my hand
Coffee gone cold again
Gate C-12 is calling
So close I can taste the end

Your name on my screen
One more “where are you?”
Suitcase rolling behind me
I’m running on borrowed blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Turbines turning in my mind
One more check
One more light
Then I’m yours by midnight

[Chorus]
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights
Almost United gold
Keep me in your sight
Almost United gold
I’m coming back for you
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights through

[Verse 2]
Runway rain on the glass
Head down, heart on go
Seatbelt cuts across me
Like a map I already know

I’ve missed your laugh in the hall
Missed your keys by the bowl
Missed the way you say my name
Like it reaches for my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Turbines turning in my mind
One more check
One more light
Then I’m yours by midnight

[Chorus]
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights
Almost United gold
Keep me in your sight
Almost United gold
I’m coming back for you
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights through

[Bridge]
If the weather drags me slow
If the whole world stops
I’ll still find my way home
Through the delays and the drops
I can see your front door
Like a flare in the dark
Hold on, hold on
I’m already in your arms

[Final Chorus]
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights
Almost United gold
Keep me in your sight
Almost United gold
I’m coming back for you
Almost United gold
Just a few more flights through
