If this is love, then why'd you have to leave?
I'm broken in the morning, wasted in the evening
Staring into nothing
Fading into sleep then back again, again

I want to see you knocking at the door
I wanna leave you out there waiting in the downpour
Singing that you're sorry
Dripping on the hall floor

But here I go again, mixing drinks and messages
So I'll say it plain, baby
I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say

Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side

Nothing is forever, nothing is the air
I breathe, it's in the water
Circulating right through
Me and when the fire
Burns me into steam, I'll float away

Away to somewhere in the ether
I could be the space between you
And the air you breathe
Between what you say and mean

But here I go again, mixing drinks and messages
So I'll say it plain
I just, I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say

Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side

Don't cry
I'm driving all night
To be by your side
To be by your side

(Nothing is forever)
(Here I go again)
(I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say)
(Here I go again)
(I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say)

Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side

Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side

Don't cry
Yeah, I'll drive all night
To be by your side
To be by your side

(Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side)
I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say

(Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side)
I wanna see you, I wanna hear you say
