The Last Red-Eye

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 For you, I'd drop it all And never look back Never look back [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 For you, I'd drop it all And never look back Never look back [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 For you, I'd drop it all And never look back Never look back [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 For you, I'd drop it all 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 For you, I'd drop it all And never look back Never look back
