MEANING

This synth smooth one is just about dreamily imagining all the places we can go. I know travel is how we first connected on Hinge, but it really feels like know we know how we each travel and can see lovely it can be for us to travel together. There is so much of this world to see, and it feels so magical, truly fantastical like this song sounds, to imagine getting to traverse this world and meet new parts of it with you next to me. I love how the songs lists places with poetry and ease. Reminds me of how earnestly we add places to our bucket list, how genuinely curious we are to go see the world. And we have so much to explore around this earth, but also I feel so aware there is so much for us to still explore in each other. Each day I feel like I know you deeper. You are a whole universe and I want to see all your corners, all your wild mountains, and deep valleys. 

(I also love that this song is about taking a red eye with the person you love to travel the world, because I am fully prepared and throughly excited for all the crusty ways we will adventure across this earth, from cheap flights, overnight busses, long treks and backpack luggage. We can have so much fun together.)

LYRICS

Let's explore, let's explore
So much more to discover

We're right on time to rendezvous, international affair
Been thinking maybe we could get away
Egyptian paradise, Tokyo sunrise
Tonight's the night that we plan our escape, let's escape

Late night, last flight
We'll travel into the twilight
Catch a red eye, catch the red eye
In the air through the miles, overnight on the run
Serengeti smiles, Santorini sun
Riviera to Nile, getaway for a while
Tonight's the night that we plan our escape, let's escape

And soon enough, we'll arrive
Fly through the Nigerian night sky
Catch a red eye, catch a red eye

Let's leave tonight, catch the next flight
Zambia bound, then to Capetown
I really wanna go

From Spain we'll swing straight to Beijing
What do you say to San Francisco Bay?
I really wanna go there

Descend with ease in Jamaican breeze
Singapore shores, let's explore
I really wanna go there
Get up and go

♡ WITH LOVE, RAYA
