8 Hours Behind Lyrics by Emily Burns

Die Happy

2024

[Verse 1]
I've never seen you walk away like that
You didn't even try to argue back
But your silence said a thousand words
No, we're not happy like the photographs
It's been forever since I heard you laugh
But I still love you, and that makes it worse
And there's nothing I can do
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause your tears don't lie when you said goodbye
God knows that wasn't any type of normal fight
Think you're gone for good
Can we live in yesterday?
[Chorus]
If I could chase time tonight
I'd take the next flight out of London
And travel eight hours behind
'Causе in Ohio I've not lost you yet
And I wouldn't have madе you cry
You wouldn't have packed your things all of a sudden
And I'd have eight hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London, you'll be waitin' there
[Verse 2]
Feels like I'm livin' in a horror show
This house is haunted by a hundred ghosts
Of all the memories you threw away
Every nightmare I have is the same
I'm tryna chase you, but my legs won't move
I'm tryna scream, but nothin's comin' through
And I'm prayin' that I wake up soon
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause your tears don't lie when you said goodbye
God knows that wasn't any type of normal fight
Think you're gone for good
Can we live in yesterday?
[Chorus]
If I could chase time tonight
I'd take the next flight out of London
And travel eight hours behind
'Cause in Ohio I've not lost you yet
And I wouldn't have made you cry
You wouldn't have packed your things all of a sudden
And I'd have eight hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London, you'll be waitin' there
[Bridge]
'Cause it's not too late, why don't you just turn around?
Unslam the door, pick your keys up off the ground
Run upstairs, I'll be right there on the floor
Right where you left me, right where you left
Tear-stained sheets, and a suitcase in the hall
Unbreak my heart, won't you hold me like you did before?
Like you never left
Like you never left me
[Chorus]
If I could chase time tonight
I'd take the next flight out of London
And travel eight hours behind
'Cause in Ohio I've not lost you yet
And I wouldn't have made you cry
You wouldn't have packed your things all of a sudden
And I'd have eight hours to try
To make sure when I land
Back in London, you'll be waitin' there
