I promise I would be there

I swear I'm on my way

I know you may not hear me

But that's the price I'll pay

For taking you for granted

You're the air I breathe

I gave you everything but

It was everything but me

I don't know how I would ever go all alone walking on my own

Like angels, you were floating to me

And that's how it should be

'cause I don't wanna waste another moment

I don't wanna pay for things unspoken

I just wanna race with arms wide open

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are

I don't wanna watch the world keep changing

When I'm not with you my heart keeps shaking

Cover up my eyes and just stop pacing

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are

Take a shot in the dark.

I promised you I'd reach you

I swear I'm almost there

As the road was disappearing

You made it all so clear

I don't know how I would ever go all alone walking on my own

Like angels you were floating to me

And that's how it should be, yeah.

'cause I don't wanna waste another moment (waste another moment)

I don't wanna pay for things unspoken

I just wanna race with arms wide open

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are.

I don't wanna watch the world keep changing (watch the world keep changing)

When I'm not with you my heart keeps shaking

Cover up my eyes and just stop pacing

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are.

I promise you I'm gonna be there

I wanna be there

No matter what happens

No matter how tragic

'cause the clock is ticking

The world is spinning

Our lives are passing us by [continues into next verse for about 4 beats]

'cause I don't wanna waste another moment

I don't wanna pay for things unspoken

I just wanna race with arms wide open

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are

I don't wanna watch the world keep changing

When I'm not with you my heart keeps shaking

Cover up my eyes and just stop pacing

Take a shot in the dark to be where you are

Take a shot in the dark.
