This song was written on a napkin, exactly one week ago today    We were driving through Nebraska, and I couldn't help but think about   How long I'll be away      Late at night I'm always wondering, how you are and if you've been okay   And if I had the time to call you, I'd tell you that I've missed you every day      And I wish that I could see your face    And I wish that I could leave this place    Even though I feel so far away from you    You'll always be, next to me, in my dreams      All the letters that you wrote me    Are kept inside a shoebox left at home   I sometimes wish that I could read them    Remind me that I'm not at all alone      And I wish that I could see your face    And I wish that I could leave this place    Even though I feel so far away from you    You'll always be, next to me, in my dreams      You asked me to send you postcards    From all of the places that I'll be    This song was marked return to sender   So all these lines never were received      And I wish that I could see your face    And I wish that I could leave this place   Even though I feel so far away from you    You'll always be, next to me, in my dreams
