I`ve been up at this all night long
I`ve been drowning in my sleep
I`ve prayed for your safe place
And its time for us to leave
Time is running on empty and the gas is running out
I`ve decided that tonight is the night
That I let love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I`ve seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home
Chorus 1:
My knuckles have turned to white
There`s no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
as trees
And the world it stopped, it stopped for you and me
Chorus 2:
My knuckles have turned to white
There`s no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes
I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here
Drowning in my sleep, I`m drowning in my sleep
Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we`d be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this
Colors have never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with Him
