Touch Down

[Intro] (touch down... touch down... pale boy arriving...) Wheels hit the runway, runway hit the heart Mexico is real now, this is the soft-boy start [Verse 1] Stepped off the plane and the air just FELT Different on my face like the world had melt- Ed into honey, into salt, into bloom The runway shimmered, the heat hit the room Of my entire body, head to toe to soft sole I heard a parrot somewhere, didn't know how to console Myself or the parrot, neither of us said it But we both knew the trip had officially begun-it [Pre-Chorus] Bags off the carousel, taxi to the hotel Driver said "first time?" I said "is it that visible?" He laughed kind, he laughed full, he laughed long Said "mijo, soak it up, you're not wrong" [Chorus] TOUCH DOWN, touch down, in Puerto Vallarta Pale boy in paradise, vámonos mañana TOUCH DOWN, touch down, palm trees in the sky Soft boy in the sun, baby say goodbye To the ground rules, to the Portland gloom Touch down, touch down, this is the bloom [Verse 2] Hotel was beachfront, balcony with palm leaves The sea was the kind of blue that the sky believes Took off my shirt (I should not have, but I did) The mirror said "Tofu, pal, you're not a kid" But you're here now, soft boy, you're really here The vacation begins, no pressure, no fear Wife's voice in my head said "have FUN, please" Pale boy on the balcony, breath on the breeze [Bridge] (I'm here. I'm actually here.) (it doesn't feel real yet but the sun is real) (I think I'm gonna cry a little, that's okay) (pale boy moment, pale boy moment, take the moment) [Outro] TOUCH DOWN, touch down, in Puerto Vallarta Pale boy in paradise, vámonos mañana (soft boy, soft boy, soft boy in the sun) (this is just day one)
