Lyric

Streetlights blur like a runway line tonight

Sneakers hit the pavement with your name inside

Your still–warm voice is ringing in my pocket

Only the heartbeat in my hand to use as a map

If I slow down now, I’ll crash into the doubt

So I count my steps like takeoff, breathing in and out

Let me break again, running through this sleepless town

Let me remember how to breathe when everything falls down

I’m on a runway home, chasing every trace of you

Oh, Runway Home, light up the streets until I make it through

Ticket in my pocket but I missed my train

Chose the longest road just to hold your name

Behind our soft “goodbye” two shadows sway and fade

On my lips a broken “thank you” I still want to say

Every traffic light is a heartbeat red

Kicking off the ground where my old fears bled

Hold me up again when my courage starts to shake

Turn each shaking step into a step I choose to take

I’m on a runway home with your laughter in my chest

If the sunrise steals you back, let my heart outrun the rest

Maybe I’m too old to be this scared

Maybe I’m too young to say I cared

But if tomorrow finds me out of breath

At least I ran for you with nothing left

Let me break for you, singing in this higher light

Let me remember how to love without holding back so tight

I’m on a runway home, finally shouting “I love you”

Oh, Runway Home, carry this cry until the night breaks through

Hold me up again when my courage starts to fade

Draw a brighter line through every doubt I ever made

I’m on a runway home, racing with the breaking blue

Oh, Runway Home, keep every road I run tied back to you
