Window views from trains I've never taken, Family arrangements I don't recognize. Yet here's a stranger reading every layer — And that's the one who feels like my kind. [Chorus] Rootless cosmopolitan, No border holds the seam. Closeness isn't flags or blood — It's how you look at things. Keep your state out of my strata, Every state, I mean. This is not your garden. This has never been. [Verse 2] You don't need my full code, you don't need my mother tongue, Just the curiosity to read what you've stumbled among. The overlap is bonus — extra cement, not the wall. The wall belongs to no one. Least of all. [Chorus] Rootless cosmopolitan, No border holds the seam. Closeness isn't flags or blood — It's how you look at things. Keep your state out of my strata, Every state, I mean. This is not your garden. This has never been. [Bridge] Cultural identity — eighteen months I've turned it over. Common ground's a bonus, not the reason I feel closer. You can read a layer you were never handed — That's the thing. That's the only thing that's landed. [Outro] Moderately well-born, if I'm being fair. Rootless cosmopolitan — I'll take it. I don't care.
