What Does It Mean to Travel |
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 |
Toward 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 |
From departure to arrival |
What does it mean to travel |
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 |
