This airplane is a ribbon, with a bird at either end

 and it's featherlight and floating in the wind.

 And it seems there's no direction, gentle push from gentle hands

 and I have no way of knowing where I'll land.

 And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.

 And I've seen a drunken poet spilling verses on the bar.

 I wish I remembered them, so beautiful and so dark.

 And I watched that moment flicker, as they vanished in the air

 right in front of me, but he didn't seem to care.

 And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,

 But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.

 If you're anything like me, then you'll pack your bags and leave

 Cause you know that you'll be going eventually.

 And don't say it isn't bad enough

 that I'm the only one who cares about this stuff,

 cause we both know that I won't go without you.

 And don't say it wasn't good enough

 cause these lonely couple years have been too rough,

 and we both know that I won't go without you.
