I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argued
More than this, I wish you could've seen my face
In backseat, staring out the window
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
Oh, the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold, forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this, I pray to you, wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do) I'll do anything for you
(Anything you want me to, for you)
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

    "'I wrote that song in what felt like one minute” says Sanchez. "I had just gotten on a plane to go back to New York after spending time with my girlfriend in California. The band was getting ready to go out on the road again and I didn't know when I'd see her next. So I was sad, and this song came out. I sent it to her and it made her cry. As to where the influence for something like that comes from, it was really just a case of that being the song I needed to write in order to make it to the next day.”
