She said, "I'm gonna go across the country to school
I've been thinkin' 'bout it lately and I made up my mind, is that cool?
I wouldn't know it'll be hard, it's MI, it's far
And though it's new, yeah, I think it's what I wanna do
And babe, I know you can't see it's the best place for me
But I'm guessing that it's different when I'm lookin' from your point of view"
(From your point of view, oh)
I said, "Baby, you've got things to do and that's alright with me
But just know that when you come back home, in the same place I will be"
(In the same place I will be)
(Same place I will be)
(Same place I will be)
She said, "I won't lie, I'm yours, you're mine
But baby, goin' into it, I'm thinkin' that it's gonna be hard on both of us
So we can talk about it now or just fool around
'Til one of us is thinkin' that the other one is feelin' that we're both gonna cry"
And though I'm tongue-tied, I've tried to take time
To realize that the other side isn't as scary as it seems
But the point is, girl, that I've got you now
So if you let me keep loving you, I'll show you how
If you'd just believe me, love

And I know you know some things never change
And baby, you and I will stay the same
And when moments fade and time just slips away (when they try to slip away)
Something about you makes me want to stay
Oh, it makes me want to stay
♪
You are far away
I miss your lips, I miss your hips, I miss your face
You are something else
I love you so, I know you know there's nobody else like you
