Lyrics
Intro
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Chorus
Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
Cross the water to a promise land
Mama's prayers stuffed in my coat
One way ticket — that's all I wrote
Hook
Oh-oh-oh, I'm gone
Oh-oh-oh, I'm gone
Verse 1
Four walls held my whole life
Tired streets and the same old night
Papa said the world don't wait
Got a map and a different fate
Packed the photos, packed the pride
Left the keys on the counter inside
Pre-Chorus
Waves keep calling my name
Nothing here feels the same
So I stand where the ocean meets sky
Take a breath — say goodbye
Chorus
Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
Cross the water to a promise land
Mama's prayers stuffed in my coat
One way ticket — that's all I wrote
Hook
Oh-oh-oh, I'm gone
Oh-oh-oh, I'm gone
Verse 2
English words feel strange on my tongue
New sun rising for the old songs sung
Neighbors ask where I belong
I say I'm building where I'm strong
Call my sister from a borrowed phone
Tell her someday she won't be alone
Pre-Chorus
Waves keep calling my name
Nothing here feels the same
So I stand where the ocean meets sky
Take a breath — say goodbye
Chorus
Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
Cross the water to a promise land
Mama's prayers stuffed in my coat
One way ticket — that's all I wrote
(Hey!) Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
(Hey!) Cross the water to a promise land
(Hey!) Mama's prayers stuffed in my coat
(Hey!) One way ticket — that's all I wrote
Breakdown
(Oh — oh — oh — oh)
(One way ticket)
(Oh — oh — oh — oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bridge
Home is not a place on a map
Home is every step I never look back
Home is not the house that I knew
Home is everything I'm building for you
Final Chorus
Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
Cross the water to a promise land
Mama's prayers still tight in my coat
One way ticket — and I'm afloat!
Pack my bags with the salt and the sand
Hey now! Cross the water to a promise land
Mama's prayers — yeah, they're still in my coat
One way ticket — watch me float!
