Gate C98

[Verse 1]
Group 2 on my pass
C98 in my hand
Trolley rolling slow
Passport gripped up tight
Newark hums around me
Blue screens, little delays
Got a France-sized dream
Right past these doors tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear my name
From the edge of the line
Heart in my carry-on
Barely sleeping, but I’m fine

[Chorus]
Gate C98
Call my name, I’m ready
Gate C98
I’ve been holding steady
One more step, one more scan
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Gate C98
Take me where I belong (Gate C98)

[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold now
Rain on the window glass
Someone laughs too loud
While the minutes move fast
My tote bag’s heavy
With a book and a change of clothes
I keep checking that screen
Like it might already know

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the lift
Right under my skin
Every little delay
Still feels like a beginning

[Chorus]
Gate C98
Call my name, I’m ready
Gate C98
I’ve been holding steady
One more step, one more scan
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Gate C98
Take me where I belong (Gate C98)

[Bridge]
France on my mind
Like a light at the end
A new voice, a new street
A new day to begin
If the line moves slow
I still won’t complain
I was born for the moment
Just past the gate

[Chorus]
Gate C98
Call my name, I’m ready
Gate C98
I’ve been holding steady
One more step, one more scan
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Gate C98
Take me where I belong (Gate C98)
