[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart
To let it wash away, and take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Where did you go? I gave you my heart
I'm not myself, when we're apart
Take your time, wait it out, 'til this is over
[Chorus]
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart
To let it wash away, and take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned 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
[Bridge]
Wherever you go, whatever you chase
No one could ever take your place
I won't let you go
Don't be the one that got away
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart
To let it wash away, and take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned 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
