I'm standing in your way
I think of old mistakes
That haunt me now
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Your dreams will go to waste
When locked inside a cage
I let you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Try to keep you close
Loving like a ghost
On the edge of forgiveness
So I let you go
And I watch you float
Like it's nobody's business

But please
Please don't go
Up and up and away
Where tears run cold
Up and up and away
Up and up and away

My problems wished away
Like candles on a cake
All burning down
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Try to keep you close
Loving like a ghost
On the edge of forgiveness
So I let you go
And I watch you float
Like it's nobody's business

But please
Please don't go
Up and up and away
Where tears run cold
Up and up and away
'Cause I held too tight
Left me standing right
In the shadow of where you left me
Please
Please don't go
Up and up and away
Up and up and away

You
Get higher and higher each day
I search every cloud for your face
Up and up and away
Up and up and away

'Cause I held too tight
Left me standing right
In the shadow of where you left me
Please
Please don't go
Up and up and away
Up and up and away
Up and up and away
Up and up and away
Up and up and away
