So this is how the story went 

I met someone by accident 

That blew me away 

That blew me away 



It was in the darkest of my days 

When you took my sorrow and you took my pain 

And buried them away, you buried them away 



And I wish I could lay down beside you 

When the day is done 

And wake up to your face under the morning sun 

But like everything I've ever known 

I'm sure you'll go one day 

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 

And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away 



I dropped you off at the train station 

And put a kiss on top of your head 

I watched you wave 

I watched you wave 

Then I went on home to my skyscrapers 

Neon lights and waiting papers 

That I call home 

I call it home 



And I wish I could lay down beside you 

When the day is done 

And wake up to your face against the morning sun 

But like everything I've ever known 

I'm sure you'll go one day 

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 

And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away 



I woke up feeling heavy hearted 

I'm going back to where I started 

The morning rain 

The morning rain 

And you know I wish that you were here 

But that same old road that brought me here 

Is calling me home 

Is calling me home 



And I wish I could lay down beside you 

When the day is done 

And wake up to your face against the morning sun 

But like everything I've ever known 

You'll disappear someday 

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 

And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away
