Shut your mouth and listen closely,
Because this silence isn't easy
So I'll break it even harder than before
Because I'm 16 going on the end of my days,
And if words aren't going to cut than I'll find another way
Because I'm leaving what I know behind,
And I'm living out my chance to shine
Like the stars now fading from your eyes
And I hope you'll understand
Whoa, whoa,
Please wait till I come home
Whoa, whoa,
Don't turn my heart to stone
Now the runway lights are fading,
With the darkness overtaking,
I'll leave you standing watching all alone
From that pane glass window one million miles away
And I'm sorry when I tell you
But I'm coming back someday
Because I'm leaving what I know behind,
And I'm living out my chance to shine
Like the stars now fading from your eyes
And I hope you'll understand
Whoa, whoa,
Please wait till I come home
Whoa, whoa,
Don't turn my heart to stone
Whoa, whoa,
Please wait till I come home
Whoa, whoa,
Don't turn my heart to stone
Don't turn my heart to stone
