He's addicted to her kisses
To those lips that he's been missing
To her whispers on the phone
Saying "baby, please come home"
From a distance, he can listen
To her heart beat out her chest
When she touches her collarbone
Through a screen on another coast
So he gets on that red eye
Even if it's all night long
Burning through the black sky
Be there before the morning comes
Oh, he turns back from heaven's gates
Cause he can't live without her, oh
Girl, I wanna see your face
Cause he can't live without her, oh
R-r-r-red eye, eye
On flight 609, 9
Chasing taxis, yelling
Bring me back my girl in Cali
Got to get his ticket on
2 AM, on the plane alone
Craves her madly, oh so badly
Would take a bullet for her gladly
She's the only drug he needs
Flying 30, 000 feet
So he gets on that red eye
Even if it's all night long
Burning through the black sky
Be there before the morning comes
Oh, he turns back from heaven's gates
Cause he can't live without her, oh
Girl, I wanna see your face
Cause he can't live without her, oh
R-r-r-red eye, eye
On flight 609, 9
R-r-r-red eye, eye
On flight 609, 9
Let the lightning bang and the thunder roar
Cause he ain't never gonna stop, never gonna stop, never gonna stop 'till he's at her door
So he gets on that red eye
Even if it's all night long
Burning through the black sky
Be there before the morning comes
Oh, he turns back from heaven's gates
Cause he can't live without her, oh
Girl, I wanna see your face
Cause he can't live without her, oh
Burning through the... burning through the black sky oh, oh yeah
