Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You said it in a simple way

4 AM, the second day

How strange that I don't know you at all

We stumbled through the long goodbye

One last kiss, then catch your flight

Right when I was just about to fall

[PreChorus]

I told myself, "Don't get attached"

But in my mind I play it back

Spinning faster than the plane that took you

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

The delicate beginning rush

The feeling you can know so much

Without knowing anything at all

And now that I can't put this down

If I had known what I'd known now

I never would have played so nonchalant

[PreChorus]

Taxi cabs and busy streets

That never bring you back to me

I can't help but wish you took me with you

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

This is falling in love in the cruelest way

This is falling for you when you are worlds away

[Bridge]

New York... be here

But you're in London and I break down

'Cause it's not fair that you're not around

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

(Oh, oh)

I don't wanna miss you like this

(Oh, oh)

[Outro]

Come back... be here

Come back... be here
