Layover Love

[ Lyrics ]

Layover love, don’t take off yet.

Gate B12, you leaned in with coffee in hand,
smiled like trouble I could miss in a foreign land.
Said you’re just passing through, same as me, same delay,
but your voice cracked through the static like it meant to stay.
We swapped our stories—mine all glitter and strain,
yours all highways and healing from a lost last name.
No plans, no pressure, just this limbo in the air,
yet your fingers on my wrist feel like a prayer.

I know we’re both just borrowed, not an ending in sight,
but the world keeps spinning softly when you're holding me tight.
So let the flights be canceled, let the sky turn gray—
give me this suspended moment, don’t erase the day.

Layover love, don’t take off yet,
we’ve got time like stars before the sun will set.
Layover love, don’t break the spell—
one wrong move and it’s back to shell.

You found me a blanket, whispered, 'You get cold at height,'
laid it soft like you’ve watched me through the night.
We watched the rain hit glass like a film in slow,
our reflections tangled where the waitrooms glow.
Said you’d follow me to Tokyo, just for one night,
then laughed like you already knew it wouldn’t be right.
But right now feels golden, even if it won’t last—
a spark in the silence, built too beautiful to ask.

I know you’re not forever, I’m not yours to keep,
but love don’t need a contract when it runs this deep.
So let the boarding call fade, let the world forget—
just a few more minutes with my head on your chest.

We’re just a pause in the motion,
a glance, a breath, a trace.
But God, you feel like ocean
tearing through my safe space.

Layover love, don’t take off yet,
we’re written in the weather, not the itinerary.
Layover love, don’t break the spell—
one wrong word and I’ll fall back in hell.
Layover love… don’t go—

Layover love… just stay.
