Eight AM
He woke up alone
Oohh
Stayed up all night waiting by the phone
Oohh
She said she was gonna call by six o'clock
So they could hang out all night
Ten 'til five, he was dressed and ready to go
Oohh

He laid there underneath the sheets
Wishing he could go back to sleep
But he had to get ready to go
'Cause at twelve, his plane was gonna leave
At the age of seventeen…

She knew he was leaving
But she didn't care enough to
Show up or say goodbye
And now he's leaving
It's time to fly
He was leaving
But she didn't care enough to
Show up or say goodbye
But now he's leaving
It's time to fly
Oohh
Out of her life

His lonely flight
Took so long
And on that night
He wrote this song

She knew he was leaving
But she didn't care enough to
Show up or say goodbye
And now he's leaving
It's time…

She knew he was leaving
But she didn't care enough to
Show up or say goodbye
But now he's leaving
It's time to fly
It's time to fly
