Write me a word to say Tell me you miss my ways tell me you miss my face [Chorus] I never meant to clip your pretty wings Oh you’re pretty oh your pretty wings And you always knew it you saw right through it So why’d you have to go? [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Standing still at the gate and I ache (I ache I ache) My palms are like lakes ris   ing Wheels drop and she starts to descend And the runway will light her way as she   starts hovering [Pre-Chorus 2] And when she lands I race for the crashing ground The oxygen from the mask that only words hark the past [Chorus] I never meant to clip your pretty wings Oh you’re pretty oh your pretty wings We’ll be alright   we’ll be alright We’ll be alright   we’ll be alright And you always knew it you saw right through it So why’d you have to...?
