Dave Cobb - What Does It Mean To Travel lyrics

[Verse 1: Mary Chapin Carpenter] From departure to arrival What does it mean to travel With your suitcase by the handle Holding everything you need [Verse 2: Mary Chapin Carpenter] Are you going or are you coming Walking slow or running Toward somebody or from something Trade your longing in for speed [Verse 3: Mary Chapin Carpenter] And the freedom to be a stranger Is a bargain that's ours alone Sometimes you just want to be someone else Unencumbered and unknown [Verse 4: Mary Chapin Carpenter] From departure to arrival What does it mean to travel And from taking off to landing You could feel your heart expanding You walked halfway down Manhattan Till you met the Brooklyn Bridge [Verse 5: Mary Chapin Carpenter] And in a 2 AM transmission From a high wire act position How the skyline behind you glistened As if someone pulled a switch [Verse 6: Mary Chapin Carpenter] And I don't want to be a stranger And I don't want to be alone But sometimes I just want to be somewhere else Untethered and unknown When I am far from home From departure to arrival What does it mean to travel
