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 their 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 anythign 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
