[Verse 1] I learned the shape of morning From an airport window seat Watched a hundred sleeping cities Disappear beneath my feet I collected little stories From the places where I stayed But every road I followed Made another road decay [Chorus] There are cities I only flew over Doors I never tried People I might have loved forever Living on the other side I’ve been lucky beyond measure Still I count what slipped away Every life that I said yes to Was a thousand I betrayed [Verse 2] I’ve stood beneath the bright lights With something worth explaining Written books and built strange futures While the clock kept rearranging And somewhere there’s a quieter me Who never chased the sky Growing old in one small neighborhood I never got to try [Outro] Maybe fullness isn’t having Every ending, every start Maybe it’s carrying the missing ones Without letting them break your heart
