Lyrics
I couldn't sleep last night
Tossing and turning on turbulent worry
You were on a transpacific flight
Why were you in such a hurry
To leave
To leave
To leave
I watched you break down and cry
From trying to please everyone in your young life
Everything seems lighter at forty thousand feet
But here on the ground I'm thinking you don't need
To leave
To leave
To leave
I won't sleep till I know you're there
Safe on the ground, somewhere
I will stand forever on this runway
Waiting for the glimmer in the sky
Ready to carry your suitcase back to this life
No questions
Those steel wings can take us far
Easy to roar through the clouds in a fury
Soar through the air on a transpacific night
Cross datelines and deadlines and I know it's scary
To leave
To leave
To leave
I won't sleep till I know you're there
Safe on the ground somewhere
I will stand forever on this runway
Waiting for the glimmer in the sky
Ready to carry your suitcase back to this life
No questions
No questions
No questions
No questions
No questions
Why
You needed to leave
I won't sleep till I know you're there
Safe on the ground somewhere
I will stand forever on this runway
Waiting for the glimmer in the sky
Ready to carry your suitcase back to this life
No questions
