Red Eye Landing

[Verse 1]
Gate sign glowing on my sleeve
Seatback scarred with old coffee
Window painted over black
We roll out and never look back
I packed a change of shirt
A book I know won’t work

[Pre-Chorus]
Seatbelt digs in my side
Clouds keep moving all night
I count towns I’ll never see
My body’s still where I used to be

[Chorus]
Take me home, take me home
My clock says one thing, my bones say no
Take me home, take me home
I’m there in my head, not there in my clothes
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)

[Verse 2]
Snack cart rattles down the row
Tiny cups and plastic straw
My neck’s bent into a knot
I lost the hour I thought I got
Some guy laughs two rows ahead
I’m half awake, half left for dead

[Pre-Chorus]
Seatbelt digs in my side
Dark keeps stretching outside
I count breaths, I count time
My body’s still two stops behind

[Chorus]
Take me home, take me home
My clock says one thing, my bones say no
Take me home, take me home
I’m there in my head, not there in my clothes
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)

[Bridge]
Morning arrives like a dare
Too bright, too soon, too bare
I’ll walk slow through the day
Till my hours come back my way

[Final Chorus]
Take me home, take me home
My clock says one thing, my bones say no
Take me home, take me home
I’m there in my head, not there in my clothes
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)
Jet lag coming for me
(coming for me)
