What Does It Mean To Travel Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

From departure to arrival 

What does it mean to travel 

With your suitcase by the handle 

Holding everything you need 

Are you going or are you coming 

Walking slow or running 

Toward somebody or from something 

Trade your longing in for speed 

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

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 

Photos 

And in a two A.M transmission 

From a high wire act position 

How the skyline behind you glistened 

As if someone pulled a switch 

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
