Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Carry-on dreams in the overhead
Tags on the suitcase, red-eye regret
Motel soap, same smell, different stress
Staring at the ceiling like a failed test
Per diem low, pride stay high
Ramen on the desk next to last July
I cashed in comfort for a couple more tries
Turned my turbulence into punchline replies (yeah)
[Chorus]
Got my layover faith and my takeoff flaws
Jet-lag heart but I still want more
Road-worn soul, put it all on tour
I confess to these walls like they keep score
Half-sung hope in a half-lit room
Mint on the pillow, scent of cheap perfume
I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m still that sure
Layover mixtape, I’m the gate, not the door (hey)
[Verse 2]
Manager texts, “you should sleep some”
But the bars hit stronger than the reruns
I turn my L’s into lead for the air guns
Shoot my shot from the stairs at the airbnb front
I got drive like I can’t afford brakes
You got drive like a student on a road test
We ain’t the same, I grind through the snow days
You call in sick when the group chat says
Mirror on the dresser like a cross-exam
“Why you still chasing?” cause I still can
I’m my own plug, my own biggest fan
Therapy in verses, I just vent and stand
[Chorus]
Got my layover faith and my takeoff flaws
Jet-lag heart but I still want more
Road-worn soul, put it all on tour
I confess to these walls like they keep score
Half-sung hope in a half-lit room
Mint on the pillow, scent of cheap perfume
I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m still that sure
Layover mixtape, I’m the gate, not the door (yeah)
[Bridge]
Room key by the Bible on the nightstand
Praying over plans I don’t quite understand
If the plane go down, check the notepad
Every line a lifeboat, every joke a slow brag (woah)
[Chorus]
Got my layover faith and my takeoff flaws
Jet-lag heart but I still want more
Road-worn soul, put it all on tour
I confess to these walls like they keep score
Half-sung hope in a half-lit room
Mint on the pillow, scent of cheap perfume
I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m still that sure
Layover mixtape, I’m the gate, not the door
