Airport Lights

Intro: The Weeknd

Another red-eye…

Another city I won’t remember clearly…

Verse 1: PinkPantheress

You met me outside the terminal,

Black hoodie pulled up in the summer heat,

Said you hated crowds but stayed beside me

Watching strangers drag their tired feet.

I kept talking just to fill the silence,

You kept staring out at the runway lights,

There’s a certain kind of sadness people carry

When they’re scared to stay in one place too long.

Pre-Hook: PinkPantheress

And I could tell

You were already halfway gone…

Hook: The Weeknd

Airport lights across your face,

Everything move in slow motion when you leave,

You say my name like you’re trying not to mean it,

Like love’s just another flight you might miss.

I keep chasing temporary feelings,

Boarding gates and unfinished evenings,

Every time I think I finally changed—

I end up right back here again.

Verse 2: The Weeknd

Mini bar bottles on the hotel sink,

TV static while the whole room spins,

I been everywhere except somewhere honest,

That’s probably why you never fully trust me.

You ask questions I avoid on purpose,

Like where I go when the tour bus closes,

Truth is—I don’t really like myself in silence,

So I keep the music loud enough to drown it.

Still…

You fall asleep against my shoulder in the Uber,

Morning light cut through the foggy glass,

For a second we looked almost normal—

Then your flight got called.

Bridge: PinkPantheress

I watch planes disappear every morning…

Maybe people do the same thing…

Hook: Both

Airport lights across your face,

Everything blur when you walk away,

We hold onto moments like borrowed clothes,

Knowing they don’t really belong to us.

You keep chasing temporary feelings,

Late checkouts and damaged evenings,

Every time we say this is the last time—

We never mean

Instrumental Break

Verse 3: PinkPantheress

Found a crumpled boarding pass in my pocket

Three weeks later in a different town

The ink is faded and the edges ragged

Just like the way you used to let me down

I check the departures on the flickering screen

Looking for a reason not to run

But I'm a ghost inside a revolving door

Still searching for what we already had done

Drop

(Ooh)

Right back here again

(Ooh)

Watching the planes go

(Ooh)

Nowhere to hide

(Ooh)

From the things we both know

Hook: Both

Airport lights across your face

Everything blur when you walk away

We hold onto moments like borrowed clothes

Knowing they don’t really belong to us

You keep chasing temporary feelings

Late checkouts and damaged evenings

Every time we say this is the last time—

We never mean it

Outro: Both

Check the gate (Never mean it)

Watch the clouds (Never mean it)

Waiting on a signal in the grey (In the grey)

Just one more time

Before we fade away

Just a temporary feeling...

Yeah

Just a temporary feeling...

Gone again

(Gone again)

(Gone again)

Fade Out
