Strangers names
The radio
Float ‘round the airport walls
Caught by people with somewhere to go
Can’t face the house empty
Coffee cold on the stove
Just wanna stay in the arrivals lounge
And sit there watching TV

While everybody
Everybody leaves

Thy sky’s a highway
And I'm breathing it in
Gotta believe
Not all these dreams are just
Pissing in the wind

I'm almost there
Wish you could see
Almost a person again
No longer an emergency
And I'm watching planes lift
Get up and pull on clothes
I’ve let you go
A thousand times
Still confuse denial for hope

But everybody
Everybody leaves

Don’t understand
How you could be gone
Batteries blink on charge
And there's all this pirated TV
Holding patterns cut air
Lean into the wind-ow seat
This kingdom of your own design
Why not make me something you would keep?

Why does everybody
Everybody leave?
