Ticket, Americano

Julia Wang

Milton Academy, MA

I wrote this song during the remote year in which the [plane] tickets back to my friends were ridiculously expensive and the travel restrictions were extremely overwhelming. This song is more than a song about the troubles of getting back to school as an international student: it is also a conversation with myself. While the narrator of the lyrics aspires to return to her favorite people, she is also trying to find where on the map represents her true identity.
