Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Making my way downtown, walking fast

Faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead, just making my way

Making a way through the crowd

[PreChorus]

And I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

[Chorus]

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

Tonight

[Verse 2]

It's always times like these when I think of you

And wonder if you ever think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong

Living in your precious memory

[PreChorus]

'Cause I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

[Chorus]

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

Tonight

[Bridge]

And I, I don't wanna let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don't wanna let this go

I, I don't

[Verse 3]

Making my way downtown, walking fast

Faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead, just making my way

Making a way through the crowd

[PreChorus]

And I still need you

And I still miss you

And now I wonder

[Chorus]

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass us by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you, oh-oh

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

If I could just hold you

Tonight
