"Airport" lyrics

If you don't want me, say so now it's not too late
I know it's not a good time to talk this out but I don't wanna wait
And fool myself, pressing into the crowd at the airport now
I tell you you're free
Believe me

You were beside me, I tried not to look
Now you're walking behind me, I could hide how badly I'm shook
In the high ceilinged airport hall
Men with machine guns leaning against the wall
There's not one look on my face -
For the flash of the customs camera to trace

If you had to end this before it can start, you can
If you have to pull back, it won't break my heart
I know how to kill my own love dead
How do you think I'm still standing not losing my head?
Explosions on every screen
In the bright lit lounge, everybody just watching

It was only kindness you gave me
What good in a crisis can this kindness be?
I know how to bury something so good
Just like the whole world and my life taught me I should
Anything living, anything lovely, anything you can't use for something

Now this plane is lifting straight into the air
Now our arms are touching in these narrow chairs
Give me a second, I swear it'll seep right down
Headphones on, drowning it out in sound
This feeling
Believe me

It was only kindness you gave me
It was only patience, just a common thing
It's easy to bury a good love alive
Find the crack in it, tear it apart in my mind
But that lyric was right
All there is here is more light
