Yeah (stop, stop, stop, stop)
You'll only get your wings wet
Oh, oh, (oh, oh...)
Ooooh (stop, stop, stop, stop)
As the day falls into darkness, you come up to me quietly
You save me from a nightmare, but before I'm aware you seem to fade away (as if you were never there)
It's just as if I've lost you, you, you
The night sky's empty, silent... out there nothing moves
So, baby, hold on
I need to be with you, but the distance between us is so vast that I don't know what to do
You're showered by the glow of the moonlight
It's so enchanting; can't get you out of my mind
Frozen like an image; barely in sight, but there forever
Can't reach out to touch you
Or to hold you in my arms
Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you
'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story
It only hurts, the more I try to get to you
I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
I let you go without calling out to you
'Cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet
No matter what I say to you, you don't hear me
And you're with someone else now already
Why are you doing this to me?
(If your heart is hurting) that's not what you should do
You're still the one that's in my heart, so if you're hurting, I am too
You're showered by the glow of the moonlight
It's so enchanting; can't get you out of my mind
Frozen like an image; barely in sight, but there forever
Can't reach out to touch you
Or to hold you in my arms
Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you
'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story
It only hurts, the more I try to get to you
I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
I let you go without calling out to you
'Cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet
You hide your pain underneath a smile
Even though you've been hurting for a long while
I see the trembling of your fragile wings
I can tell you're suffering
I'm telling you
You can stay here, right by my side
I'll keep you safe with me, you'll be fine
I'll hold you 'til dawn, and following the moon, you can fly to tomorrow
Don't look back, yeah
Can't reach out to touch you
Or to hold (oh) you in my arms (whoo)
Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you (oh)
'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story
It only hurts, the more I try to get to you (I swear I cannot stop loving)
I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah (tonight, yeah)
I let you go without calling out to you
'Cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet
(Stop, stop, stop, stop)
You'll only get your wings wet
You'll only get your wings wet (stop, stop, stop, stop)
You'll only get your wings wet (You'll only get your wings wet)
You'll only get your wings wet (stop, stop, stop, stop...)
You'll only get your wings wet
