Kisses at Airports

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 leavin'

It don't really matter whatever the reason

Something 'bout 'em gets me every time

Kisses in 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 in airports

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

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

And now it's sunburned lips on 10 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

Kisses in airports

Thankin' 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 in airports

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?

Like kisses in 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 mean a little more

Like kisses in airports

Like kisses in airports.
