Runway Pulse
Track 5 of Velvet Altitude
[ Lyrics ]
Heartbeat on the runway, runway. Heartbeat on the runway — feel it? Rollin’ through the terminal in stilettos and smoke, every gate’s a stage, yeah, I’m in my zone. Security knows my name, no bag check needed, just a smile and a wave — I’m already leaving. Past the duty-free dreams and the coffee line stress, my life’s in motion and I love the mess. Used to fear the unknown, now I chase the delay, ‘cause home’s not a place — it’s the sky on my face. They say I’m always runnin’, like stillness is loss, but I found my rhythm in the boarding call. Clockwork chaos, neon and flight — I don’t need roots when I’ve got wings tonight. Heartbeat on the runway, runway pulse is high, jet fuel in my veins and stars in my eyes. Heartbeat on the runway, I was born to move, every mile’s a victory, every exit proof. Crew says ‘Welcome back’ like I never left, tycoon in first class gives me that look again. I don’t flirt with forever, just the here and now, one city blurred into the next somehow. Danced in Tokyo rain, woke up in Paris light, never packed my heart — just my favorite night. No address, no anchor, just a passport and pride, I don’t run from pain — I just glide. They ask when I’ll settle, when I’ll slow down, but peace isn’t quiet — it’s the sound of this town fadin’ beneath the wing, city lights like a rhyme, I’m not lost — I’m in time. World spins fast, but I’m steady in flight, every landing’s a moment, every takeoff’s a high. No need for maps — I read skies like lines, my pulse is the rhythm, my soul’s in the skies. Heartbeat on the runway, runway pulse is high, jet fuel in my veins and stars in my eyes. Heartbeat on the runway, I was born to move, every mile’s a victory, every exit proof. Heartbeat on the runway — feel it, feel it — Runway pulse, baby, it’s all I need. Heartbeat on the runway… yeah.
