Lyrics / The Wondering Traveler
MIDNIGHT PASSPORT.
This is your boarding call No bags, no fear Only the beat Only the year Stamps on my heart, dust on my shoes New city, same bruise, same truth I got miles in my eyes, and a spark in my throat I keep love like a lighter in a rain soaked coat Rich lights flash, poor streets breathe Middle of the map, that’s me I don’t want perfect, I want loud I want the night to shake the crowd I want a moment that doesn’t explain Just hits my ribs like a moving train One hand up, one hand on my chest If this is the end, make it the best Midnight passport, stamp my soul New year heat in a blackout glow We don’t need answers, we need a drop Hold me tight when the world won’t stop Midnight passport, take my name Throw it high in the neon flame If love is chaos, I want the proof Right here, right now, under this roof Airport prayers and hostel laughs Broken plans and perfect halves Kissed on bridges, cried in trains Danced through loss to kill the pain I learned the rich can still feel empty I learned the poor can still feel plenty And me, I’m stuck in the in between Trying to live like I mean the dream New year, new miles, same heartbeat thump City lights jump when the kick drum jump I don’t chase clout, I chase that spark I chase that love in the loud and dark Suit on the balcony, kid on the curb Both want mercy, both want words I’m in the middle, I feel it all So when the bass hits, I don’t fall Say it Say it Now Midnight passport, stamp my soul New year heat in a blackout glow Hands up, no fear, let it pop If we break, let it break on top Midnight passport, take my name Throw it high in the neon flame If love is chaos, I want the proof Right here, right now, under this roof If tomorrow asks what I became Tell it I chose the fire, not the blame Tell it I stopped counting scars And started counting stars Midnight passport, stamp my soul New year heat in a blackout glow We don’t need answers, we need a drop Hold me tight when the world won’t stop Midnight passport, take my name Throw it high in the neon flame If love is chaos, I want the proof Right here, right now, under this roof Stamp my soul Stamp my soul End of the route Start of the year Same heart No fear
