There's a plane
Sitting on a midnight runway
I know that you're on it
There's a man
Waiting in another city
Who can take care of your problems
I pray that time and again
That he'd screw up the way I did
But you don't deserve that if I'm honest
But if that's keeping you here
I'll keep wishing that wish
Stoking that fear
Until your flight takes off and I can't stop it
But if you change your mind
I'll be the perfect guy
One who can keep you
In his arms for more than a night
So if you're not in love
Give me the chance to make it up
So I can keep you
In my arms for the rest of my life
Starting Tonight
Starting Tonight
There's a place
That I drove by just the other day
To remind me how I lost it
There's a space
I've been saving for someone like you
Kept it vacant and it cost me
But I pray that time and again
That I'd become a better man
It's much too late now if I'm honest
But it's what's keeping me here
Writing these words
Living that fear
And you're the only person that can stop it
But if you change your mind
I'll be the perfect guy
One who can keep you
In his arms for more than a night
So if you're not in love
Give me the chance to make it up
So I can keep you
In my arms for the rest of my life
Starting Tonight
Starting Tonight
The pilot taxis down
And your future gets brighter and brighter without me around
I get drowned out by the sound
As the engines catch fire and take you away from the ground
But if you change your mind
I'll be the perfect guy
One who can keep you
In his arms for more than a night
So if you're not in love
Give me the chance to make it up
So I can keep you
In my arms for the rest of my life
Starting Tonight
Starting Tonight
Starting Tonight
