[Verse 1]

Minutes from a warm kiss

Five minutes from a moment of joy

A second later it all turns to pain

I refused to believe when I heard

That bird of steel had crashed to the earth

In a ball of flames and no one was saved

[Verse 2]

Those left behind I saw them cry

The victims still live in their hearts and minds

Sharing their grief I'm crying too

So scared thinkin' how I'd feel if

I was losing you

[Chorus]

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

[Verse 3]

So many victims so many young

In the spring of their lives now their future is gone

And I wonder who will the next ones be

You say it's crazy to anticipate

But I'm not mad

It's just that I'd hate to lose someone

To lose someone

[Verse 4]

I saw them cry those left behind

The victims still live in their hearts and minds

Sharing their greif i'm crying too

So scared thinkin' how I'd feel if

I was losing you

[Chorus]

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes away

Five minutes away why didn't they come

They were on their way

A warm kiss faded away

Only five minutes
