We were just kids, but we were the rulers.
We had the world, but, no, we never had enough.
Your head on my chest, i watched you sleepin'.
Stayed awake and wondered what you're dreamin' of.

Where did you go? i gave you my heart.
Wrote you a note, you tore it apart.
Take your time, wait it out, 'til this is over.

Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
Let it wash away, and take it back, take it back.
Back to the way we loved, like we were falling stars.
Tell me how long it takes.
Take it back, take it back, back to the start.
Back to the start.

I miss your touch, i miss the late nights.
I wish you never would've gotten on that plane.
Did you get scared? or did i love you too much?
I guess that's why they call it the runway.

Where did you go? i gave you my heart.
I'm by myself, we're apart
Take your time, wait it out, 'til this is over.

Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
Let it wash away, and take it back, take it back.
Back to the way we loved, like we were falling stars.
Tell me how long it takes to take it back,
Take it back, back to the start.
Back to the start.

Wherever you go, whatever you change,
No one could ever take your place.
I won't let you go,
Don't be the one that got away.

Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
Let it wash away, and take it back, take it back.
Back to the way we loved, like we were falling stars.
Tell me how long it takes to take it back,
Take it back, back to the start.
Back to the start.
Back to the start.
