Baby… airports exist. Pack a shirt. Take a flight, buddy. [Verse 1] He sings about the miles again like the map broke his heart says the moon is on her window and he’s dying in the dark He writes another midnight verse with her name in every line but he won’t check a single ticket won’t even look at flight times [Ad-libs - backing vocals] Yeah, yeah, yeah so tragic, so sweet Yeah, yeah, yeah but did you book a seat? [Pre-Chorus] Love is not a weather report you don’t just watch it pass If she’s worth all that crying put your feelings in a bag [Chorus] Take a flight, buddy stop singing to the sky If she’s really your forever why are you still online? Take a flight, buddy quit blaming the night Long distance didn’t stop you your wallet did, alright You say the road is cruel you say the stars won’t align Baby, there’s a boarding gate and it closes right on time Take a flight, buddy or stop wasting the rhyme [Verse 2] He says her perfume haunts him from a thousand miles away but his passport’s in the drawer where excuses go to stay He swears he’d cross an ocean with his hand upon his chest then asks if she can visit first because he’s feeling stressed [Ad-libs - playful] Cute. Very devoted. Very… stationary. [Pre-Chorus] A man can write a chorus with a tear in every note But love looks very different when it has to find a coat [Chorus] Take a flight, buddy stop singing to the sky If she’s really your forever why are you still online? Take a flight, buddy quit blaming the night Long distance didn’t stop you your wallet did, alright You say the road is cruel you say the stars won’t align Baby, there’s a boarding gate and it closes right on time Take a flight, buddy or stop wasting the rhyme [Bridge] He made the distance holy made the waiting sound divine turned a lack of effort into cinematic wine But love is not a postcard not a sad guitar at three If you can cry into the microphone you can cry in seat 14B [Break - spoken] Window or aisle? No? Then lower the drama, darling. [Final Chorus] Take a flight, buddy stop singing to the sky If she’s really your forever why are you still online? Take a flight, buddy quit blaming the night Long distance didn’t stop you your courage did, alright You say the road is cruel you say the stars won’t align Baby, there’s a boarding gate and it closes right on time Take a flight, buddy or stop wasting the rhyme [Outro - spoken, dry] He said love had no borders. Beautiful. So why is your suitcase empty?
