Wheels Don't Stop Here 2 (version 2)

Intro

Three a.m. in my chest

You were here, then you were gone

Departure sign, one more song

Hold on tight to something real

Verse

Taxis queue like the minutes ticking slow

Your jacket left by the door, still warm where it sat

I watch as strangers move towards their own

The same four walls that never shut down

Your shadow lingers in the beam of light from the bar

I follow the echo to your favourite chair

You said goodbye once but you came back round

This time the road takes us apart without a sound

Pre-Chorus

Will you send me a signal when the wheels leave ground?

Tell me that somewhere you're moving still, spinning round

Say it's not really over and this isn't goodbye

Just hold on till the sun starts to shine

Chorus

I'll be waiting right here where we used to sit

Wheels don't stop here but my heart keeps spinning

Hold on tight to something real

Send me a text when you land, let me know I'm still here

Verse 2

Airport lights reflected in the wet pavement glow

Strangers moving through like the hours slipping fast

I take one last look at your favourite place

And hope that someday these four walls will be home again

You said something like this before but it always fades

Now I'm standing here with nothing left to say except this

Pre-Chorus

Will you send me a signal when the wheels leave ground?

Tell me that somewhere you're moving still, spinning round

Say it's not really over and this isn't goodbye

Just hold on till the sun starts to shine

Chorus

I'll be waiting right here where we used to sit

Wheels don't stop here but my heart keeps spinning

Hold on tight to something real

Send me a text when you land, let me know I'm still here

Bridge

Maybe it's not goodbye like the last time around

Maybe the leaving is just another way of finding this place

Keep moving forward and know that I'll be right here

Spinning in my chest with nothing left to lose

Chorus

I'll be waiting right here where we used to sit

Wheels don't stop here but my heart keeps spinning

Hold on tight to something real

Send me a text when you land, let me know I'm still here

Outro

One last look before the lights turn blue

You were here and then you weren't, just like before

I'll be waiting here with nothing left to do

Text me when you land and maybe we'll find our way back home again
