Description
I flew across the freeway doing something near 85To come back to this freedom place where I feel alive
I stopped quickly as I rolled by that old familiar place
The one I haven’t set foot on, since we last declared space
The airport calls out my name as I try so hard to drive by
My car is pulling one direction, but my heart wants to fly
I guess that I could lie and say I never knew where
The truth is that I always am aware
It never mattered to me, one talk a night or three
Just so long as you were up to keep me company
I only ever wished that you were in proximity
Maybe that’s why I say it’s you I need
My heart is pounding confession, though you’ll never hear the pulse
I’ll say that I love you, but it never is enough
All these words get caught in my throat as I try to speak
Everything but what I want to say, “Be with me”
Show up at the airport terminal, like you do in dreams
Show up here, and say that you want to be with me
I wish I knew how things should go
Or what is left to say
There’s just not enough power behind
“I’ve never felt this way”
One year lapsed to two
To the beginning of a third
Everyone keeps saying that by now I should have learned
You’re just a memory that I hold close to my heart
They’ll never understand me
Or the role you got
I told you that I never knew where I wanted to be
The truth is, that I always knew
I wanted to be here
With you, with me.

I wish I could of think if things like this when I drive to SFO, but all I ever think then is "damn, vacation is over"
Lovely use of travel as a metaphor of looking back.

thank yooou.
i love living near the airport... watching planes and wondering where they're going... wondering if it's somewhere better. the grass is always greener and all that... but it's still a cool idea... just plane hopping and seeing where it takes you. I guess it's all much deeper than just a plane ride.

Oh yes, so many exciting destinations, so many interesting cities ... and just watching planes makes your mind wander, I know how that is
