[Verse 1]
I pulled myself out of the mess so everyone could breathe
I took the red-eye home, I was the only one to leave
When looks are daggers, words are guns, every hope is gone
The sadness in your eyes just lingers on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Away
One light left in heaven
Away
High above the clouds
Away
The light goes on forever
I wish we'd stay up here, never come down

[Chorus]
You know I'll wait here for you
I'll wait here for you
No matter where you go or what you put me through
And I don't know if you'll come back to me
But, baby, if you do
I'll be waiting for you

[Verse 2]
I moved myself around a bit, I thought I'd landed safe
But then I caught a glimpse of what was hidden in your face
You looked me in the eye and told me everything was true
Now we know the distance between me and you
