[Intro: 7/8, melodic slap bass lead, soft keys] (Dum-ba-da, dum-ba-dum) (Tss-ka, boom-tika-tss) [Glitch chops, bass harmonics] [Verse 1: Elastic bass counterpoint] Another flight, another city Another coffee in my hand Watching strangers down the aisle With their own lives left to land Thirty thousand feet of distance From the things I call my own Funny how a crowded cabin Can leave you feeling so alone [Pre-Chorus: 5/4, climbing bass melody] The engines hum beneath me Like a song I almost know (Ooh, where did the years go?) [Chorus: Soaring, lush harmonies] Somewhere above everything I'm looking at the life I've made All the love and all the chances All the prices that I've paid I'm proud of where I've traveled But there's so much left to see Between the places I am going And the places holding me [Break: Bass solo, IDM breakbeat] (Bmm-tika-tss, bmm-ba-dum) (Go-go-gone, gone again!) [Phonk chops, bass tapping in 9/8] [Verse 2: Gentle, syncopated] The window's three seats over So I watch the people sleep Thinking of the promises I've made and tried to keep Every person I've connected with Every road I didn't take Every version of tomorrow That my choices couldn't make [Bridge: Half-time, intimate falsetto] (Will you ever settle down?) Maybe when my heart is still (Will you ever have enough?) I don't know if I ever will [Final Chorus: Key lift, soaring vocals] Somewhere above everything I'm grateful for the life I've made Even all the roads behind me That I wouldn't dare retrace And when the wheels touch down again I'll find another dream to chase With a thousand lives inside my heart And just one life to embrace [Outro: Melodic bass reprise, 7/8] (Dum-ba-da, dum-ba-dum) [Cabin hum, fading Rhodes]
