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 that 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 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 Cause you know that you'll be going eventually
