Window Seat

[Intro]
Boarding starts at sunrise
One more hour, then I fly

[Verse 1]
Suitcase open by the bed
Blue shirt folded, passport checked
Phone is charging on the floor
I keep finding one thing more

The alarm is set for five
But my thoughts refuse to lie
Every little engine sound
Feels like wheels above the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Close your eyes, the room turns wide
Runway dreams are on your side
Count the minutes, let them go
Morning knows the way to show

[Chorus]
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Morning’s waiting for the light
Hold me close, don’t let time run wild
I’ll be gone before the sky turns mild
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Carry me through the cabin lights
If I dream, let the whole world start
With a window seat and a racing heart

[Verse 2]
Travel mug beside the door
Keys are waiting on the drawer
Curtains breathe across the glass
Midnight moving much too fast

I can hear the city fade
Every plan is neatly made
Still I’m wide awake and dressed
With a paper map against my chest

[Male Spoken Rap]
Passport, wallet, ticket in my hand
Five a.m. alarm, got a sunrise plan
No more checking, no more pacing the hall
One deep breath, let the night fall
Bag by the doorway, shoes lined up straight
Dreaming of the runway, don’t wanna be late
Turn off the lamp, let the silence begin
Tomorrow’s calling from the other side of the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
Close your eyes, the room turns wide
Runway dreams are on your side
Count the minutes, let them go
Morning knows the way to show

[Chorus]
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Morning’s waiting for the light
Hold me close, don’t let time run wild
I’ll be gone before the sky turns mild
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Carry me through the cabin lights
If I dream, let the whole world start
With a window seat and a racing heart

[Breakdown]
Breathe in slow
Let the suitcase wait
Breathe in slow
The door can open late
No more clocks
No more counting through
Night, stay soft
I’m almost there with you

[Final Chorus]
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Morning’s waiting for the light
Hold me close, don’t let time run wild
I’ll be gone before the sky turns mild
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Carry me through the cabin lights
If I dream, let the whole world start
With a window seat and a racing heart

[Outro]
Alarm set, suitcase closed
Eyes shut tight, the runway glows
Sleep tonight
I’m ready when the morning goes
