​ticket home lyrics

[Verse 1]
A cabaret out the window
In a railroad car full of broken hearts
How'd we get here? Where'd we go?
Poison to impart and a pain to stop

[Chorus]
Ticket home tonight, hello, airline meal
We weren't born to fly, I'm getting high to heal
Up into the sky, goodbye, landing wheels
Cities passing by and I'm just standing still

[Verse 2]
A cabernet through the window
In a rental car with a push-to-start
Moving fast while thinking slow
Holding on to letting go
Where the lonely grow, I know I'm not alone

[Chorus]
Ticket home tonight, hello, airline meal
We weren't born to fly, I'm getting high to heal
Up into the sky, goodbye, landing wheels
Cities passing by and I'm just standing still

[Outro]
And no matter where you go
You can find your way back home
We can walk this lonely road
But I know we are never on our own
Took me far too long to see
All I needed was some feet
To run away, you're my saving grace
Said that I would be your ticket home
No, I'm not alone
