I'm gonna ask you for something   And it may sound like a lot   I've never really asked you for anything, no   We've always lived so far apart      Would you fly all the way from New York to see me?   Could you fly all the way to stand here next to me?   I didn't think so   But here you are with me      I was hanging on to nothing as a child   And my brother, he used to slam into walls   Everyone called him wild   Yes, it's been a while since I've had a day   Where I don't wish away all the fear, all the fear   That's why it's so hard to ask      Could you fly all the way from New York to see me?   Would you fly all the way to stand here next to me?   I didn't think so, no   But here you are with me      Thank you for coming   You'll never know what it means   'Cause no one ever cared enough about you   How were you supposed to know what I need   You'll never know what it means   But thank you for coming      Would you fly all the way from New York to see me?   Could you fly all the way to stand here next to me?   I didn't think so, no   But here you are with me
