lyrics

You took the midnight, East-Bound flight to Chicago
We bid goodbye, and thought that all was fine
I watched you go, how could I know
That the time we'd left between us was so fleeting
Now I'm looking with regret at our last meeting

It's not right
To lose your light so early on
But I will fight
To live a life worth holding on

Keep, keep holding on
You're not gone
Keep, keep holding on

They say two years and I say, to hell with what they say
It's such a waste of time to count the days
Come on, let's move, we've yet to choose
All the dangers and adventures we'll be chasing
Every thrill I share with you has no replacing

But it's not right
To lose your light so early on
But I will fight
To live a life worth holding on

Keep holdin on, you're not gone

We used to dream that we'd conquer the world together
A team of bandits, taking on whatever
Well—sand's still run, I'm not done
You can't run away yet
I still need you
I won't let you
fly—

Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
