Starting Tonight Lyrics

There's a plane

Sitting on a midnight runway

I know that you're on it

There's a man

Waiting in another city

Who can take care of your problems

I pray that time and again

That he'd screw up the way I did

But you don't deserve that if I'm honest

But if that's keeping you here

I'll keep wishing that wish

Stoking that fear

Until your flight takes off and I can't stop it

But if you change your mind

I'll be the perfect guy

One who can keep you

In his arms for more than a night

So if you're not in love

Give me the chance to make it up

So I can keep you

In my arms for the rest of my life

Starting Tonight

Starting Tonight

There's a place

That I drove by just the other day

To remind me how I lost it

There's a space

I've been saving for someone like you

Kept it vacant and it cost me

But I pray that time and again

That I'd become a better man

It's much too late now if I'm honest

But it's what's keeping me here

Writing these words

Living that fear

And you're the only person that can stop it

But if you change your mind

I'll be the perfect guy

One who can keep you

In his arms for more than a night

So if you're not in love

Give me the chance to make it up

So I can keep you

In my arms for the rest of my life

Starting Tonight

Starting Tonight

The pilot taxis down

And your future gets brighter and brighter without me around

I get drowned out by the sound

As the engines catch fire and take you away from the ground

But if you change your mind

I'll be the perfect guy

One who can keep you

In his arms for more than a night

So if you're not in love

Give me the chance to make it up

So I can keep you

In my arms for the rest of my life

Starting Tonight

Starting Tonight

Starting Tonight
