Watching her wishful eyes
They fade to black
As she cries herself to sleep
And thinks I'm not coming back
Counting the days
When I am away
Hearts ripped apart at the seams
Don't worry child
I'll meet you tonight in our dreams

I'd give you my life
Give me one chance
Holding our breath as your holding my hand
I'll keep your heart
Safe in my pocket
Even when dreams lead you into darkness
I'll be there
Come find me
Here in the afterglow

Here's the truth
I travel the world
Just to bring it all back for you
Watching you grow
Through the screen on a phone
I wish I could turn back time
Don't worry, child
We'll meet where the stars align

I'd give you my life
Give me one chance
Holding our breath as your holding my hand
I'll keep your heart
Safe in my pocket
Even when dreams lead you into darkness
I'll be there
Come find me
Here in the afterglow
