This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The alarm clock's screaming in my face
You gotta get up, you gotta get up today
You're gonna see her soon
So start up the car, I'm on my way
Down the highway to that plane
I can't wait to get you in my room
So hold me close and never let go
Just know, you'll never be alone
I'm here babe, I'm here
And even though that plane will make you go
Far away from the West coast
I'll still be here
And I know big cities and big dreams are calling out your name
Somehow, I just don't know
How I'm gonna make you stay
And even if it seems that nothing will ever be the same
I can promise you that I will always feel this way
So hold me close and never let go
Just know, you'll never be alone
I'm here babe, I'm here
And even though that plane will make you go
Far away from the West coast
I'll still be here
(Ok we're gonna break it down! One, two, three, four!)
And no matter how far
How many miles keep us apart
You're still in my heart
You're still in my heart
Don't worry honey
I'll be here waiting
Don't worry about me
I'll still be here
I'll wait till the sun goes down over our sleepy town
And watch the waves as they call you back home
You gotta get up, you gotta get up today
You're gonna see her soon
So start up the car, I'm on my way
Down the highway to that plane
I can't wait to get you in my room
So hold me close and never let go
Just know, you'll never be alone
I'm here babe, I'm here
And even though that plane will make you go
Far away from the West coast
I'll still be here
And I know big cities and big dreams are calling out your name
Somehow, I just don't know
How I'm gonna make you stay
And even if it seems that nothing will ever be the same
I can promise you that I will always feel this way
So hold me close and never let go
Just know, you'll never be alone
I'm here babe, I'm here
And even though that plane will make you go
Far away from the West coast
I'll still be here
(Ok we're gonna break it down! One, two, three, four!)
And no matter how far
How many miles keep us apart
You're still in my heart
You're still in my heart
Don't worry honey
I'll be here waiting
Don't worry about me
I'll still be here
I'll wait till the sun goes down over our sleepy town
And watch the waves as they call you back home
