Three Hours Changed Everything
Gate thirty-two, the storm was coming down
Flight one-O-two, the last plane out of town
You missed your connection,
I was running late
They opened up a single seat at the boarding gate (mmmmm)
We shared that narrow row,
thirty-thousand feet
Spilling out our lives in a crowded cabin seat
You talked about your kids,
the ink on your divorce
I spoke about my dreams that got pushed off-course
And three hours changed everything we knew
High above the clouds,
a different point of view
Two strangers finding hope in the middle of the night
Just temporary souls
on a delayed flight
We landed in the dawn,
the winter sky was gray
No numbers exchanged, we just walked away
But you went home to pack,
to finally start brand new
And I finally resigned
from the job I hated too
And three hours changed everything we knew
High above the clouds,
a different point of view
Two strangers finding hope in the middle of the night
Just temporary souls
on a delayed flight (oh-oh-oh)
Flight one-O-two... (three hours...)
