From departure, to arrival
What does it mean, to travel
With your suitcase, by the handle
Holding everything, you need
Are you going, or are you coming
Walking slow, or running
From somebody, or from something
Trade your longing, in for speed
And the freedom, to be a stranger
Is a bargain, that's ours alone
Sometimes, you just want to be someone else
Unencumbered, and unknown
And from taking off, to landing
You could feel your heart, expanding
You walked halfway, down Manhattan
Till, you met, the Brooklyn Bridge
And in a 2 AM, transmission
From a high wire act, position
How the skyline behind you, glistened
As if someone, pulled a switch
And I don't want to be, a stranger
And I don't want to be, alone
But sometimes, I just want to be, somewhere else
Untethered, and unknown
When I am far, from home
From departure, to arrival
What does it mean, to travel
