Текст песни: The First Place + перевод

4 am

Half a world away in Washington

She calls and says, «She's gone»

Barely breathing on the phone

I am barely holding on

To what I have at home

Slowly drifting from my own

What kind of friend is not around

Always out of town and can’t come back now?

What kind of friend’s not by your side?

Hear me tonight

You can’t go

We’re not ready, people need you still

I need you still, please come back down

If I head home tonight

Even the very first flight would be too late

Because you’ve gone away

And I wasn’t there in the first place

It comes again

Spilling off the page these pixels make the words that read, «He's gone»

Air can’t seem to find my lungs

I am ever so alone

When all I have to hold is a liquid crystal rope to home

What kind of son is not around

Always out of town and can’t come back now?

What kind of son’s not by your side to say his goodbyes?

You can’t go

We’re not ready, people need you still

I need you still, please come back down

If I head home tonight

Even the very first flight would be too late

Because you’ve gone away

And I wasn’t there in the first place

Every day I await your embrace

But you’re so far away

Are you listening?

You’re so far away

Will you wait for me?

You can’t go

We’re not ready, people need you still

I need you still, please come back down

If I head home tonight

Even the very first flight would be too late

Because you’ve gone away

And I wasn’t there in the first place

I wasn’t there in the first place

Because you’ve gone away
