lyrics

Red-eye flight to Phoenix, Arizona
When they said that your time was wearing thin
Sitting window seat
Staring down at the scattered lights on the countryside
In the quietest part of the night
Thinking about what to say and how the hell I'm even going to do this

We dock at the airport at 2:30 a.m. and I head to my hotel
I lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling
And I swear I cried myself half to death just to meet you halfway
And I try to sleep, but I don't sleep

I head down to the hospital at dawn
And the nurse shows me to your room
I try to brace myself but there's nothing around to hold onto
She opens up the door and you sit up from your bed
And your smile nearly brings me to to my knees
It always has

We spent most of the morning
Talking about the past, our friends, and our better years
Avoiding the future altogether
But I'm still not sure who was more afraid of it
We laughed at the TV and shared a few jokes of our own
As I try to force the tears down
Now's not the time, you've got to be strong
But I'm not strong
When I look at you I know there's a river there
That's keeping the mountains calm

As the sun sets the nurse comes in and says
That visiting hours are over
The final goodbye with all the prepared words
Got lodged in my throat as the tears started to come
But you took my head in your hands
And you looked me right in the eyes
And you said, "Everything will be alright."
I believe you, why wouldn't I believe you?

Final boarding call and I head to the terminal
And I know you head to yours
The flight attendant takes my ticket and says, "Have a nice flight."
One last look at your city before I go
And I know that everything will be alright
