Lyrics:

Verse

I’ve never seen you walk away like that
You didn’t even try to argue back
But your silence said a thousands words

No we’re not happy like the photographs
It’s been forever since I heard you laugh
But I still love you and that makes it worse
And there’s nothing I can do

Pre

‘Cause your tears don’t lie
When you said goodbye
God knows that wasn’t any type of normal fight

Think you’re gone for good
Can we live in yesterday?

Chorus

If I could chase time tonight
I’d take the next flight out of London
And travel 8 hours behind
‘Cause in Ohio I’ve not lost you yet

And I wouldn’t have made you cry
You wouldn’t have packed your things all of a sudden
And I’d have 8 hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London you’ll be waiting there

Verse

Feels like I’m living a horror show
This house is haunted by a hundred ghosts
Of all the memories you threw away
And every nightmare I have is the same

I’m trying to chase you but my legs won’t move
I’m trying to scream but nothing’s coming through
And I’m praying that I wake up soon

Pre

‘Cause your tears don’t lie
When you said goodbye
God knows that wasn’t any type of normal fight

Think you’re gone for good
Can we live in yesterday?

Chorus

If I could chase time tonight
I’d take the next flight out of London
And travel 8 hours behind
‘Cause in Ohio I’ve not lost you yet

And I wouldn’t have made you cry
You wouldn’t have packed your things all of a sudden
And I’d have 8 hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London you’ll be waiting there

Mid 8

‘Cause it’s not too late
Why don’t you just turn around?
Unslam the door
Pick your keys up off the ground
Come upstairs I’ll be right there on the floor
Right where you left me
Right where you left

Tear-stained sheets
And a suitcase in the hall
Unbreak my heart won’t you hold me like you did before?
Like you never left…
Like you never left me

Chorus

If I could chase time tonight
I’d take the next flight out of London
And travel 8 hours behind
‘Cause in Ohio I’ve not lost you yet

And I wouldn’t have made you cry
You wouldn’t have packed your things all of a sudden
And I’d have 8 hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London you’d be waiting there
