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.
