There you were

Like the rarest blue of a New York City sky

I fell in love

And you felt it too, those eyes could never lie

For a moment, I'd stolen the keys to another life

For the first time I, I was enough

With the sweetest view, you right by my side

And I watched us fade

You were glowing, just floating to the clouds

And I watched us fade

There was smoke and your shadow on the ground

There we were

At the airport gate, I failed to recognize

What I had, what my soul had craved as I tried to hold you tight

For a moment, we'd stolen the keys to another life

It was worth it, right?

And that was us, in different lanes, on two different flights

And I watched us fade

You were glowing, just floating to the clouds

And I watched us fade

There was smoke and your shadow on the ground

When I close my eyes

You’re only ever leaving, I only ever see you in my mind

The plane’s on the runway, it's only going one way, and I try

But I'll only ever watch you fade

And I watched us fade

You were floating and never coming down

And I watched us fade

I was holding your shadow from the ground

And I watched us fade

(Woah-oh-oh)

And I watched us fade

(Woah-oh-oh)

When I close my eyes

You’re only ever leaving, I only ever see you in my mind

The plane’s on the runway, it's only going one way, and I try

But I'll only ever watch you fade

And I watched us fade

And I watched us fade
