lyrics

I can board a hundred airplanes
and for a while I can forget, I can forget
Drive a hundred miles with the windows open
See how far I get, how far I get
But there you are again
And here I go again

I thought I was over it, didn’t see
I thought I was through with it
But it wasn’t through with me
The emptier I feel the more I miss you
And the more I miss you
The emptier I feel

I can ride a train across a hundred cornfields
But I can’t get away
I can’t get away
Wake up with a stranger and I don’t know why
I ever play this game, ever play this game
Cause here you are again, and there I go again

I thought I was over it, didn’t see
I thought I was done with it
But it wasn’t done with me
The lonelier I feel the more I need you
And the more I need you
The lonelier I feel

Wish that I could be more like you
You never doubted yourself
Once you walked away from me
Never saw you turning back

I thought I was over it, didn’t see
I thought I was through with it
But it wasn’t through with me
The more I close my eyes the more I see your face
And it never goes away

I thought I was over it, didn’t see
I thought I was through with it but it wasn’t through with me
The more I have to go, the more I can’t forget
And the more I can’t forget
The further I will go
