Kisses at Airports

[Verse 1]

You don’t know if it’s hello or goodbye

What kind of tears they are when they get cried

All you know is somebody is coming or leaving

It don’t really matter whatever the reason

Something about them gets me every time

[Chorus]

Kisses at airports, wide-open car doors

So slow to let go, wrapped up with eyes closed

Some mean "I missed you," some mean "I’m going to"

But somehow they mean more

Kisses at airports

[Verse 2]

There was a crayon cardboard "Welcome home, Daddy" sign

When he got the deployed, she was just two pink lines

And now it’s sunburned lips on ten little fingers

And one for her mama, yeah, that one lingers

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one at baggage claim to cry

[Chorus]

Kisses at airports, thanking the good Lord

You didn’t die out there without seeing that curly red hair

And that’s why you hang on and that’s how you make it home

Got something to live for

Kisses at airports

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

When you dropped me off, I was running late

I just grabbed my bags and ran to the gate

But what if I had never landed

How many times do we take for granted?

[Chorus 2]

Like kisses at airports, wide-open car doors

No I don’t want to let go

I just want to make sure you know

This one means I miss you, this one means I’m going to

Make every one I give you, baby, be a little more

Like kisses at airports
