Hold me closer one more time

Say that you love me in your last goodbye

Please forgive me for my sins

Yes, I swam dirty waters

But you pushed me in

I've seen your face under every sky

Over every border and on every line

You know my heart more than I do

We were the greatest, me and you

But we had time against us

And miles between us

The heavens cried

I know I left you speechless

But now the sky has cleared and it's blue

And I see my future in you

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll do everything different

I'll be better to you

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll be somebody different

I'll be better to you

Let me stay here for just one more night

Build your world around me

And pull me to the light

So I can tell you that I was wrong

I was a child then, but now I'm willing to learn

But we had time against us

And miles between us

The heavens cried

I know I left you speechless

But now the sky has cleared and it's blue

And I see my future in you

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll do everything different

I'll be better to you

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll be somebody different

I'll be better to you

Time against us

Miles between us

Heavens cried

I know I left you speechless

Time against us

Miles between us

Heavens cried

I know I left you speechless

I know I left you speechless

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll do everything different

I'll be better to you

I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again

I put my hands up

I'll be somebody different

I'll be better to you
