Lyrics:
SOMEWHERE NEAR THE AIRPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------

I knew this place a minute ago
I swear I did
I knew the name
The city
The reason I came
…
Didn’t I?

Fluorescent midnight in a concrete maze
Glass reflections wearing borrowed faces
An elevator opens
An elevator closes
And somehow I’ve forgotten where it goes
A woman asks me something
Or maybe she just smiled
Her face dissolves before I can decide
I follow signs
I follow shadows
I follow anything that feels familiar
For a while

Maybe it’s the airport
Maybe it’s a dream
Maybe it’s the same hallway
Repeating endlessly

And my heart beats faster
Than the clocks can run
Night becomes morning
Then the daylight’s gone
Everybody passes
Like they’re made of smoke
And I’m still trying to remember
Who I was
A moment ago

Parking garages stretching into nowhere
Steel and glass and endless empty air
I think I found the exit
I think I found the street
But now the sun is shining where the moon should be
People moving toward me
Like rivers going wrong
Their mouths are moving
But I cannot hear the song
I start to run
The world slows down
Like somebody poured honey into time

My legs are moving
My lungs are burning
But somehow nothing changes

And my heart beats faster
Than the clocks can run
Night becomes morning
Then the daylight’s gone
Everybody passes
Like they’re made of smoke
And I’m still trying to remember
Who I was
A moment ago

There’s a young man in the distance
Standing by a moving train
Every time I almost reach him
He disappears again
Sometimes I think he’s looking for me
Sometimes I think he’s me
Sometimes I think I’ve always known him
Sometimes I’ve never seen him

Wait…
What city is this?
Why can’t I read the signs?
Why do I know this building?
Why does it feel like mine?
Who took the hours?
Where did they go?
Why does everybody know where they’re going?

Run
Stop
Breathe
Turn
Run
Stop
Breathe
Turn

Now I’m outside among the towers
Grey against a silver sky
I watch myself reflected in a window
And for a second
It’s another pair of eyes
A man my age
A stranger’s face
Then suddenly it’s me again
I touch the glass
The image shatters
Into traffic, clouds and rain

And my heart beats faster
Than the clocks can run
Night becomes morning
Then the daylight’s gone
Everybody passes
Like they’re made of smoke
And I’m still trying to remember
Who I was
A moment ago
And somewhere near the airport
Or somewhere far away
I keep walking through the labyrinth
Of another shifting day

The signs keep changing
The faces fade
The tunnels stretch beyond the light
A door opens
A door closes
And somewhere
Someone calls my name
…
I think.
