Lyric

I checked in

But I don't know where to go

The empty suitcase

And the full heart

There's a closed gate

That says "destination unknown"

Time passes

But the plane doesn't take off

Life is a terminal, you know

You're waiting for a flight

That will never arrive

Everyone in line with tickets in hand

But no one knows

If the plane is leaving

A man at the microphone

Speaks too softly

He says something

But I don't understand Italian

The lights flash

Canceling every flight

And I'm sitting here dreaming of a single sky

What's after boarding?

A cloud or a park?

Life's a terminal, you know

You're waiting for a flight

That will never arrive

Everyone in line with tickets in hand

But no one knows

If the plane is leaving

Duty free sells dreams

On special offer

But the real-size ones are gone

A child screams

Another eats chips

I buy a hope

And two postcards
