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, 'cause 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

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

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
