4 AM, the second day How strange that I don't know you at all Stumbled through the long goodbye One last kiss, then catch your flight Right when I was just about to fall
I told myself, don't get attached
But in my mind, I play it back Spinning faster than the plane that took you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in New York today I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here
The delicate beginning rush
The feeling you can know so much Without knowing anything at all And now that I can put this down If I had known what I know now I never would've played so nonchalant
Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me I can't help but wish you took me with you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in London today And I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here
This is falling in love in the cruellest way
This is falling for you when you are worlds away In New York, be here But you're in London, and I break down 'Cause it's not fair that you're not around
This is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in New York today And I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here
Oh-oh, oh-oh I don't wanna miss you like this Oh-oh, oh-oh Come back, be here Come back, be here
