Too fast, she leaves too fast
Always on the run, always under the gun
Clueless or unimpressed
Is it such a crime to wait around for her another time?
Time ran out, sun's going down
She's done the most she can in this town
It's not her fault that nothing moves here
But she can't help when her heart flutters with fear
Tickets booked, bus fare paid for
In her dreams she can't wait no more
Counts the days till she breaks away
And someone prays for more days she'll stay
Trapped in the landslide of her love
Is such a lonely place to be
Sarah, can't you understand
Sarah, won't you try to land
I'm waiting on you
Tell me am I getting through?
Sarah, don't you understand
Sarah, I'm in the palm of your hand
I'm trying for you
Tell me am I getting through to you Sarah?
She's not a girl who misses you much
Keeps her distance with just one touch
My California princess in her high-rise tower
Escape calls as she sits there hour by hour
Doesn't stop when she gets moving
Ain't got time to be losing
But when she looks back don't it feel good?
Like she keeps you standing just where you should
Trapped in the landslide of her love
Is such a holy place to be
Sarah, can't you understand
Sarah, won't you try to land
I'm waiting on you
Tell me am I getting through?
Sarah, don't you understand
Sarah, I'm in the palm of your hand
I'm trying for you
Tell me am I getting through to you Sarah?
Tears down the posters on her walls
Yard sale in the back, just two bags she packed
Stands tall when pounding down the tarmac
But when she gets inside, what new wish does she find?
Sarah, can't you understand
Sarah, won't you try to land
I'm waiting on you
Tell me am I getting through?
Sarah, don't you understand
Sarah, I'm in the palm of your hand
I'm trying for you
Tell me am I getting through to you Sarah?
Sarah
Sarah
Ooh
Oh-woah
