lyrics

So what can I say?
'cause I've figured out that words can't stop time
Being this way
Means never having to face our decline
Walking on air is temporary
'cause one day gravity comes face to face
And says your time is up
It's reality

So this is it
Take your pick
Say goodbye or good day
Just don't predict
Leave that to me

'cause I know where my life is going
But don't know how I'm gonna get there
Opposite ways our winds are blowing
But we'll find out way back
We'll get prepared
And I am ready for you
To find your way back to me

Don't finish your sentence
'cause if you do it means you'll have to say goodbye
I'll say that I meant this
And interrupt to prolong this lullaby
Red light, don't turn green
'cause if you do last stop's less stops away
Credits stay on the screen
'cause if you do lights up's farther away

And for the rest of my life
I won't ever have to wonder
And for the rest of my life
I won't ever have to wander

Even though you're gone, just wanna know you're not leaving
