Do you remember the look on my face as I walked through the door?
You said your parents are gone from the States, we were here all alone
So we rolled up in the kitchen with the radio on
Playing Clapton as we put paper towels on the fire alarm
And all at once you started breaking down, down, down
Crying, saying: Please, don't leave me now
I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
So close, but you're miles away
It'll be okay, 'cause I stay till you come down
I watched, as the light left the room, I started talking you down
Just breathe for a moment or two, we can figure this out
But you said you needed silence, so I don't make a sound
And all at once you started breaking down, down, down
Crying, saying: Please, don't leave me now
I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
So close, but you're miles away
It'll be okay, 'cause I stay till you come down
And I know it feels like it never ends
And I know the fear that you're up against
And I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
And I've been here before
Too high and so unsure
To worry anymore
And all at once you started breaking down, down, down
Crying, saying: Please, don't leave me now
I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
So close, but you're miles away
It'll be okay, 'cause I stay till you come down
And I know it feels like it never ends
And I know the fear that you're up against
And I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
I know that you're so afraid
And it's getting late, but I'll stay till you come down
