[Verse 1]
If this is love, then why'd you have to leave?
I'm broken in the morning, wasted in the evening
Staring into nothing, fading into sleep
Then back again, again
I want to see you knocking at the door
I want to leave you out there waiting in the downpour
Singing that you're sorry, dripping on the hall floor

[Pre-Chorus]
But here I go again
Mixing drinks and messages
So I'll say it plain, baby
I want to see you, I want to hear you say

[Chorus]
Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side

[Verse 2]
Nothing is forever, nothing is the air
I breathe, it's in the water circulating right through
Me and when the fire burns me into steam
I'll float away, away to
Somewhere in the ether I could be the space
Between you and the air you breathe
Between what you say and mean
[Pre-Chorus]
But here I go again
Mixing drinks and messages
So I'll say it plain, I just
I want to see you, I want to hear you say

[Chorus]
Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side
Don't cry
I'm driving all night
To be by your side
To be by your side

[Instrumental break]
(Here I go again)
(Here I go again)
(I want to see you, I want to hear you say)
(Here I go again)
(I want to see you, I want to hear you say)

[Chorus]
Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side
To be by your side
Don't cry
Yeah, I'll drive all night
To be by your side
To be by your side
[Outro]
(Don't cry
I'm on the next flight
To be by your side)
I want to see you, I want to hear you say
(Don't cry
I'm driving all night
To be by your side)
I want to see you, I want to hear you say
