Bordeaux Songtext
von Mizfitted

She was new to the weight she carried
I was used to reading signs
Among strangers, trying to fit in
Hoping coffee would hide her tired eyes

Long days climbing in and out
Of training notes and skies
A captain who liked control
And nerves she tried to hide

Flying high, late at night
All the streetlights out of sight
Everything should feel alright
But something still felt off inside

You tried to hide it, played it cool
Even though it was a hard enough task
Just being you

Last flight took us south that night
Bordeaux was finally in sight
But the plane didn′t want to take us home
And time was running out


They asked if we were strong enough
To stretch the night again
I saw the question in your eyes
You'd already been given all you had

Flying high, late at night
All the streetlights out of sight
Everything should feel alright
But something still felt really off inside

Too much weight, too much load
Too much more than you
Were ever meant to hold

You′d been learning how to fly the plane
While learning who to be
When pressure filled the quiet space
You didn't have to carry it alone with me

I've never done well with power trips
Or silence dressed as law
So I said what needed saying
And didn′t ask for more

We stayed the night, let hours rest
Let breathing come back slow
The city held us quietly
Like it wanted us to know


Outside the hotel, we lit our cigarettes
No words we had to find
It felt like time just stepped aside
And left the noise behind

Flying high, late at night
All the streetlights out of sight
Everything should feel alright
But something still felt off inside

You didn′t need to feel alone
I took your hand and stood beside you
Till it felt like home

Till it felt like home
