It's a long way down when you're stuck there at the bottom
And I don't mean to call you out but I haven't forgotten
It's the last request from a non-united nation
And I guess it's too late to ask you for my salvation

No - I don't need your love
I've seen enough is enough
I've been there once too often
I've seen the good get tough

I've got two strong arms
And a fragile heart
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there waiting

It's the last transmission from a distant population
And I don't mean to scream and shout
But I haven't forgot them
It's a one-way ticket to a dead-end destination
It's a hopeless scene in a no-win situation

It's a cry for help
A last plea for your attention
Did you get the last message?
Or do you need an explanation?
It was a two-way trip
It just happened in the wrong location
And a useless conclusion
I wish I'd never made this mistake

If you'll be there waiting
I won't come to any harm
If you'll be there waiting...
