Five AM Departure

[Chorus] Five AM, the terminal hums low Red-eye flight, nowhere left to go Screen still glows with faces far away Another sunrise, another day [Verse] Fingers tap the elevator call Watch the raindrops on the terminal wall A lonely bottle, mints in the machine Fluorescent glow, a transient scene [Pre-Chorus] Heads up, a screen plays dreams of sun Vacation ads, before the day's begun Loose button on my collar, frayed and worn A feeling of being newly born [Chorus] Five AM, the terminal hums low Red-eye flight, nowhere left to go Screen still glows with faces far away Another sunrise, another day [Verse] Garbled whispers from the intercom Boarding calls, where do I come from? Each drop of rain a steady, soft beat A temporary rhythm on concrete [Pre-Chorus] Loose button on my collar, frayed and worn A feeling of being newly born Heads up, a screen plays dreams of sun Vacation ads, before the day's begun [Chorus] Five AM, the terminal hums low Red-eye flight, nowhere left to go Screen still glows with faces far away Another sunrise, another day [Bridge] Just a quick tap, a digital plea To move me forward, set my spirit free Blurred faces in a family frame Whispering softly my own name [Verse] No roots to anchor, no place to land Just this moment, in this sterile land The plastic basket, water and mints Fading memories, subtle hints [Outro]
