Gate C17

[Verse 1]
First flight ran late
Now I’m running on faith
Boarding pass in my hand
And a knot in my chest

I watch the clock
Like it owes me an answer
Your name on the screen
Still feels farther and farther

[Pre-Chorus]
One more gate
One more line
Please let the doors
Still be mine

[Chorus]
Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
I’m halfway there, don’t let it go
Don’t miss that connection

Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
I’ve got this heart
In a rush, in a glow

[Verse 2]
I’m counting the minutes
With my shoes half-tied
Dragging my suitcase
Through the sliding tide

Every announcement
Hits me like a wave
Say my flight’s still waiting
Say I’m not too late

[Pre-Chorus]
One more gate
One more sign
If I can just
Make this line

[Chorus]
Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
I’m halfway there, don’t let it go
Don’t miss that connection

Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
I’ve got this heart
In a rush, in a glow

[Bridge]
If I miss one step
I miss all night
So I breathe it in
And I hold on tight

Through the crowd, through the noise
I keep moving fast
One good turn
Can still change the path

[Final Chorus]
Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
I’m right outside, I’m close enough
Don’t miss that connection

Don’t miss that connection
Don’t miss that connection
When the door swings open
I’m gonna be enough
