[Verse 1]
AI want to grab a stranger’s hand and
AHold it as tightly as I can and
AI will tell by their reaction if
AThey’re like me or if I am crazy
AWhen the lights of the city hit my
AEyes on the plane looking out the window
AI am consumed by a comforting notion
AThat you are there and
AI am welcome
AIf our miles have added up to
AA giant pile of distance that we
ACannot reach past, climb, or conquer
AWill you dig a
ATunnel to me?

[Verse 2]
AEvery move suspends an action
AAny attempt to engage will push away
AWhat you want becomes a magnet
AOpposing poles
ANever meeting
ACan you combine a friend and mother?
ACan you blend a dad and brother?
AMust we have to pick one or the other?
AWill we know this or always wonder?
A(Always wonder)
AYou can tell what you’ve done to me
ATo be seen in hell from your place in a tree
AAlways helping
AEver loving
ABut will you always
ABe above me

AThe kindness that’s been done to me

AI could ask for
ASo I’m asking
ASoon we will be side by side the
APlane will land and the wings will glide
AThe bags in hand and
AThe car will drive
AInto you
AI will arrive
ABy your side
ABy your side
