I met a lady on the plane to California And she reminded me so much of you And when she asked what I was doing here, well then it hit me The crazy things the dollar makes us do [Chorus:] I should be with you right now, a step at your end I should be holding you instead of losing my mind Just when you need me the most, so does the coast But I swear I'll make it up to you this time I pass a family as they hug before departure It just reminds me you're alone I hold the quarter that will take my voice back to you And hear you say "I need you here at home" [Chorus: x2]
