Lyrics: Soren Veyne Hoshino
Music: Soren Veyne Hoshino
I'm at the airport, gate twenty-three
You said “maybe come, maybe stay, we’ll see”
I packed too light, forgot my jeans
But brought that shirt you said looked clean
Scrolling through your texts, I stop at “hey”
You never mean it, but I come anyway
Boarding soon, I lose my mind
You said “don’t rush”, but I’m outta time
I’m not even sure if this is real
But it’s kinda fun to feel
Layover love, twenty minutes ‘til I board
You’re the reason that I can’t ignore
Every flight delay feels meant to be
You say “come through”, I lose my sleep
Layover love, caught between the clouds and you
I don’t even know what I’m running to
But I’ll land just to see your face
Even if it’s just one day
You pick me up, your car smells sweet
Like cigarettes and lemon sheets
You talk too much, I nod along
Pretend I know your favorite song
You say “you’re not like girls I met”
(you definitely said that last time too)
I laugh it off, your hand’s on mine
Guess I’ll miss my next flight
Layover love, twenty minutes ‘til I board
You’re the reason that I can’t ignore
Every flight delay feels meant to be
You say “come through”, I lose my sleep
Layover love, caught between the clouds and you
I don’t even know what I’m running to
But I’ll land just to see your face
Even if it’s just one day
I’m still in line, but I won’t go
I tell the flight crew “I don’t know”
They call my name, but I just smile
You text “stay here a little while”
Layover love, twenty minutes ‘til I board
Guess I don’t need that flight no more
Every wrong turn feels kinda right
You say “come through”, I miss my flight
Layover love, you and me in 2A
I don’t even care if I can’t stay
‘Cause I’d land just to see your face
Even if it’s just one day
