Standing alone at the gate, she's late

Standing still at the gate, and I ache (I ache I ache)

Wheels drop and she starts to descend

And when she lands, I race for the crashing ground

The oxygen from the mask, that only words hark the past
[Chorus]

We'll be alright, we'll be alright

And you always knew it, you saw right through it

So why'd you have to...?
