The Last Red-Eye

I will take the first flight
Or the last red-eye
I would hitch-hike backroads
Or hike a canyon-side
With blisters on my bare feet
And cuts all on my palms
I’ll never leave you helpless
With you I’ll trump it all
And never look back
Never look back
You sleep deepest on your side
As you face the wall
I can hear there’s tears in your eyes
The cold of the unknown
Without your warmth
All just blood from chapped lips
My words won’t fix things
But at least you should know
I will take the first flight
Or the last red-eye
I would hitch-hike backroads
Or hike a canyon-side
With blisters on my bare feet
And cuts all on my palms
I’ll never leave you helpless
With you I’ll trump it all
And never look back
Never look back
Trace my face
Save the sound of my voice
Every mile that passes
Feels like a weight, pressing on my shoulders
I saw you in a dream
Woke up in tears, because it wasn’t the real thing
The rest of my life, I’ll make sure you know
I will take the first flight
Or the last red-eye
I would hitch-hike backroads
Or hike a canyon-side
With blisters on my bare feet
And cuts all on my palms
I’ll never leave you helpless
With you I’ll trump it all
And never look back
Never look back
Over my shoulder again
I think I finally know who I am
You are my everything
And they can take me away
But they can’t take my life from you
I will take the first flight
Or the last red-eye
I would hitch-hike backroads
Or hike a canyon-side
With blisters on my bare feet
And cuts all on my palms
I’ll never leave you helpless
With you I’ll trump it all
And never look back
Never look back
