The Window
T.O.C. Lyrics

This is a final boarding call flight 247
Passengers need to board flight 247 immediately

All passengers please report to the gate
All passengers need to check in at the airport gate

As a reminder this is a one way flight
This flight is only taking passengers one way

Staring out the window
Looking out of the airplane's window

30,000 feet above the ground and I can't help myself from
The artist is in an airplane, high above the ground, and is unable to stop himself from looking out the window.

20,000 miles away from home and I'm still stuck on you just
The singer is far from home and still thinks about someone from their past.

Staring out the window
Continuing to look out of the airplane's window

Gotta get this money babe but every time that I'm away I'm
The artist is traveling to make money, but can't stop thinking about the person they miss

I'm gonna be right back once I'm done getting all these checks babe
The artist plans to return home after finishing their work and making money.

Another flight into another place
The artist is taking yet another flight to a different destination

It's been a long time since I've seen your face
The singer hasn't seen the person they miss for a long time

Virtual just won't take the place of when It's me and you the same time and place
Talking over virtual means cannot replace being physically in the same place at the same time

But opportunity a world away keeps calling me and so I can't delay
The opportunities in another part of the world keep the singer from delaying their work.

Time away is a big price to pay but I've gotta take it too much at stake
Being away from home for long stretches of time comes at a cost, but it's a necessary sacrifice to make.

And I remember when we promised each other
Recalling a promise made with the person they miss

We'd follow our dreams cause there will never be another
The two made a promise to pursue their dreams because they felt that it was now or never

Chance in this life except right now
They believed that there would never be another chance like the present

But the fact still remains that I need you now but
Despite all of this, the singer still needs the person they miss in their life.

We're still connected
The bond between the two is still strong despite the distance

Cause what we've got is straight telekinetic
Their bond is so strong that it feels like they have a telekinetic connection.

And I'll be home with a story to tell and my heart to give
When the artist returns home, they will have stories to share and will be able to give their heart to the person they miss

Cause you hold me down
The person they miss offers them emotional support to keep them grounded

This is a reminder flight 247 is preparing to land
The flight is about to land

Please ensure that all of your baggage is properly stowed
Passengers need to make sure that their luggage is stored appropriately

As a reminder this is a one way flight
Passengers need to remember that this flight is only going one way.

Staring out the window
Continuing to look out of the airplane's window

30,000 feet above the ground and I can't help myself from
The singer is still looking out of the airplane's window while being high above the ground

20,000 miles away from home and I'm still stuck on you just
The artist is still thinking about the person they miss while being far from home.

Staring out the window
Continuing to look out of the airplane's window

Gotta get this money babe but every time that I'm away I'm
Despite knowing that they need to make money, the singer can't help thinking about the person they miss.

I'm gonna be right back once I'm done getting all these checks babe
The singer reiterates their plan to return home once they finish making money.

Years passed since I've seen your face and my dreams have grown I'm still on the chase
Years have gone by since the artist last saw the person they miss, and in that time, their goals and dreams have expanded, but they are still working hard to achieve them.

You've got a family a happy place and I'm glad for you because you didn't wait
The person they miss has built a happy life and family, and the artist is happy for them because they didn't wait around for the artist to come back.

We kept our promise to follow our heart never blamed each other for the time apart
Despite being apart for a long time, both parties kept their promise to follow their hearts and not blame each other for the time they were apart.

Still supportive with miles apart with a love so strong it will never part
Despite the miles between them, their love is unwavering and they remain supportive of each other.

And even though we can't be together we can celebrate from overseas whenever
Although they can't be together physically, they can still celebrate and be happy for each other.

Life is good to our families counting blessings making these memories
Both parties are grateful for the good things in their lives and are creating happy memories with their families and loved ones.

So I'm thankful that we kept our word and we never gave up on our dreams
The singer is grateful that they and the person they miss kept their promise to follow their dreams and never gave up on them.

But still I'm humbled cause I never came back and there's never gonna be a day that I'm not
The singer is humbled because they never returned home, and there will never be a day they don't think about the person they miss.

Staring out the window
The artist ends the song by looking out of the airplane's window once more.
