8am he woke up alone Stayed up all night waiting by the phone She said she was gonna call by six o' clock so they could hang out all night Ten till five he was dressed and ready to go He laid there underneath the sheets wishing he could go back to sleep But he had to get ready to go because at twelve his plane was gonna leave At the age of 17… She knew he was leaving But she didn't care enough to Show up or say goodbye And now he's leaving it's time to fly He was leaving But she didn't care enough to Show up or say goodbye And now he's leaving it's time to fly Out of her life His lonely flight took so long And on that night he wrote this song
