[Intro – punchy synth + claps]
(Rain SFX, synth stab intro)
Vocal (soft, spoken)
Jet lag and red flags, baby…
Still I run back — crazy.
(beat)
Oh no… here I go…
Boardin’ flights to what I know.
[Verse 1 – rhythmic, tight vocal phrasing]
Met you in a lounge at Gate 22,
Passport lips, smooth attitude.
Told myself, “It’s just one night,”
Then chased your lies across flights.
Should’ve known by the way you move,
You ghost, then act like it’s smooth.
But I live for the thrill —
Even heartbreak has a pill.
[Pre-Chorus – melodic lift, minor harmonies]
I say I’m done, erase your name,
But one text pulls me back in the game.
It’s toxic… it’s tragic…
But babe, it’s magic.
[Chorus – full vocal power, group harmonies]
Jet lag and red flags,
You’re bad news in a leather jacket.
Layovers in your hotel bed,
Every kiss a risk in my head.
I should be gone,
But your chaos feels like home.
Every mile I try to break,
You pull me in — tidal wave.
Jet lag and red flags…
You’re the high I chase.
[Verse 2 – bolder delivery, more percussion]
Said you’d change — yeah, this time.
Then I found her texts at 5:09.
Still, I smiled through the pain,
Heartbreak loves a private plane.
Dress my damage in designer lines,
You say sorry — I say fine.
We’re a crash, a perfect dive,
But somehow I feel alive.
[Pre-Chorus – layered echo FX]
Everyone says, “Girl, just leave,”
But they never tasted how you breathe.
It’s chaos… it’s madness…
And I’m still captive.
[Chorus – vocal swell + harmony stack]
Jet lag and red flags,
You’re bad news in a leather jacket.
Layovers in your hotel bed,
Every kiss a risk in my head.
I should be gone,
But your chaos feels like home.
Every mile I try to break,
You pull me in — tidal wave.
Jet lag and red flags…
You’re the high I chase.
[Bridge – breakdown + filtered vocals]
I know better, but I want worse.
Every lie you sell, I rehearse.
You’re a storm I can’t escape,
A red flag dressed in fate.
(beat drop — vocals trail out, deep synth pulse)
[Final Chorus – full chest voice + production swell]
Jet lag and red flags,
I crash into your love and back.
Burned every map to dust,
Still land in your arms like trust.
I should be gone,
But your chaos feels like home.
Every time I try to land,
You got me boardin’ love again.
Jet lag and red flags…
And I’d do it all again.
[Outro – light piano arpeggios + rain SFX return]
Vocal (spoken, low)
Boardin’ flights to what I know…
Red flags, but I never say no.
