Have you seen the way
That she looks at you
Do you know what it means
Like a tidal wave

Crashing over you
But you can't tell me what it means
Oh

I have booked my flight
Back to planet earth
I am following my heart

Leaving you behind
Is the hardest thing to do
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Oh

Don't turn around now
I'm closer than before
Tell me that

I'm Closer than before
Am
Don't turn it around

I'm closer than before
As I climb aboard
And watch you disappear
In a burst of dust and smoke

Let the vapor trail
Push me out of here
I'm feeling just like I had hoped
Oh

Don't turn around now
I'm closer than before
Tell me that
I'm Closer than before

Don't turn it around
I'm closer than before
(Let it ring)
As I'm falling back

Through the atmosphere
It all seems like such a waste
All those empty years

That I spend with you
Burning off in empty space
Oh
