Miss My Flight

Got to fly away

One day I would see the world and make my mark on it

Put in time, sacrificed never thought of thinking twice

Now I'm standing with you in this terminal

With a ticket so far from your love

Can I have one more kiss, one more touch

I just can't get enough of you of you

But I'm in a rush I got to fly away

Planes waiting up for me right at gate twenty-three

There's a doorway to my dreams

I could go or I could stay

My alarm clock in the morning said you got to go now

The breakfast you were calling and my heart just broke down

Cause tomorrow we will be waking up separately

Wish I never heard that clock ring

So how in the world do I choose?

How can you measure the promise of love

When it's weighing against a chance that comes once

How can I leave when I know he's the one

When the dust settles he might not be here

And I'm standing with you in this terminal

Crying my eyes out in tears
