Landing Lights Cut Through the Night (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Four hundred hours and no more flight plans

Fuel gauge reading zero but we're still holding on

Lights come up over the runway, soft and low

We taxi in without a sound to let go of

The engines cough and then they die

One last time before we say goodbye

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Is this really the end? Or just the start?

Do we land or do we never leave the dark?

Can you see it, too? The exit sign up high

Chorus – both vocals

Landing lights cut through the night

Verse 2 – female vocal

We're still circling when I look at you again

Four hundred hours turned into one long refrain

The stars behind us start to fade

Every runway's a new place to be made

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Is this really the end? Or just the start?

Do we land or do we never leave the dark?

Can you see it, too? The exit sign up high

Chorus – both vocals

Landing lights cut through the night

Bridge – both vocals

Not goodbye, then. Just next stage, same sky

Chorus – both vocals

Landing lights cut through the night

Outro – male vocal only

Still holding on. Still holding on.

Landing lights cut through the night.
