Intro
Either we're getting on this flight together, or I got a fly solo
Verse 1
You say you want love, but you keep one foot out
Every time I get close, you start looking for a way out
I can hear his name in the way you doubt me
I can see old pain in the way you crowd me
I’m not him, so don’t make me pay that price
I don’t want a war for somebody else’s lies
We could be good if you let me in
But you bring up yesterday before we begin
I’m not saying forget what you lived through
I’m saying don’t let it choose for you
I got patience, but baby, there’s a line
I can’t carry what he broke every time
Pre-Chorus
Drop that weight at the gate, leave it outta sight
If you travel light with me, we taking off tonight
Chorus
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
I’m tryna take off with you, but only if we light
Check your past at the gate, tag it, leave it on sight
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
Verse 2
You say all men the same, I say look at me twice
I’m not here to play games or disappear at night
If you got questions, ask me, don’t accuse
I don’t mind healing, but don’t confuse
A man who cares with a man who owes
Somebody else’s debt from a love gone cold
I want the real you, not the guarded version
Not the one who turns every text into a burden
We both got scars, I ain’t judging your heart
But we can’t go far if fear gets a part
This could be easy if we both stop dragging
Suitcases full of old damage
Pre-Chorus
Drop that weight at the gate, leave it outta sight
If you travel light with me, we taking off tonight
Chorus
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
I’m tryna take off with you, but only if we light
Check your past at the gate, tag it, leave it on sight
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
Bridge
We don’t need perfect, just honest
We don’t need old names between us
Put down what they did to you
I’ll put down my pride too
Maybe love can be simple
Maybe trust can come back slow
But I can’t build a home
With your bags at the door
Final Chorus
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
I’m tryna take off with you, but only if we light
Check your past at the gate, tag it, leave it on sight
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
If you trust me, baby, we can leave the past behind
Check your past at the gate, tag it, leave it on sight
No baggage on this flight (no carry-ons tonight)
