[Verse 1] At Gate 9, a younger me is waving through the glass With a pilot's coat and silver wings, a future moving fast Gate 12 has paint beneath my nails, a room above the sea Gate 4 says, “Take the train tonight—come find the rest of me” [Pre-Chorus] Every screen says boarding soon Every life calls out my name I can’t stand in every doorway I can’t leave the same [Chorus] One pass, one seat, one sky to cross Pick a gate, accept the cost Bass-line heart and drums that race All these lives, one leaving place Run, run—doors are closing now Choose the why, forget the how One pass, one seat, one sky to cross I can’t live them all—I’m off [Verse 2] A little brass key hangs from Gate 3, a bakery at dawn At Gate 15, a crowded stage keeps pulling the curtains on A quiet house, a different name, a hand I almost held Each window shows a whole new world I’ll never get to tell [Pre-Chorus] Every screen says boarding soon Every life calls out my name I can’t stand in every doorway I can’t leave the same [Chorus] One pass, one seat, one sky to cross Pick a gate, accept the cost Bass-line heart and drums that race All these lives, one leaving place Run, run—doors are closing now Choose the why, forget the how One pass, one seat, one sky to cross I can’t live them all—I’m off [Bridge] I press my thumb against the glass The other selves don’t disappear They turn away, they wave me on The chosen road is waiting here [Final Chorus] One pass, one seat, one sky to cross Pick a gate, accept the cost Bass-line heart and drums that race All these lives, one leaving place Run, run—doors are closing now Choose the why, forget the how One pass, one seat, one sky to cross I can’t live them all—I’m off [Outro] Gate lights dim behind my back One pass in my hand One life, and now it starts
