Just A Ticket

I say it’s just a ticket, just a change of air Learning a new language, pretending I don’t care But every map I draw keeps leading me there Where your presence feels closer than anywhere You laugh in a way, you don’t try too hard This place is calling me, is it for a reason? I watch you through a screen, that’s too far away Still somehow, it changes my whole day I tell myself it’s nothing, just the change I need A different kind of life, a quiet place to breathe But every step I take, no matter where I go Feels like I already know So I say it’s just a ticket, just a change of air Learning new phrases like I don’t care But every map I draw keeps leading me there To a place where you’re already there And I don’t say your name, but you follow me home Like a song that I hum when I’m all alone I cross every ocean, rewrite what I know Would you ever really know me? They say you’re just a phase, an idol on a stage But I swear sometimes it feels like you know my name It’s the joke in the room that nobody gets And somehow I can’t let you go just yet And maybe I’ll pass you by on a crowded street Acting like my heart is steady, I barely believe You’ll never know I crossed an ocean for you But would you ever know me? So I say it’s just a ticket, just a change of air Learning subway lines like I don’t even care Every road I take keeps leading me there, To a place where you’re already there And I don’t say your name, but you follow me home Like a song that I hum when I’m all alone If I cross every ocean, rewrite what I know Would you ever wanna know me?
