The Echoing Airports

I go to airports, wait by the gate for arriving flights
I go to airports to watch the lovers reunite
I go to airports, in every city they're the same
the lonely airports echoing with all the shouted names of loves that have been caught sight of returned from miles away
from tiny lights receding into the night at the end of the runway
I go to airports they blur together now-a-days
One single airport unwinding the terminal maze
I go to airports to be near strangers' hopes and dreams
I go to airports to rememeber all of the mistakes we made
The plans we made and how they went astray
'til you were lights, receding into the night
At the the end of the runway
Flourescent lights hum overhead
"sometime soon, we'll meet again," you said
The dull air in the waiting hall seems nice
It's almost the same as then, but in the end... not quite
I go to airports, wait by the gate for arriving flights
I go to airports to watch the lovers reunite
