They think I’m talking to myself again
But I’m just talking to you
The fact that you’re not here at all
Doesn’t make it any less true
‘Cause you’re on my mind
Yeah, runnin’ circles around my brain
You’re diggin in to my heart
I can tell nothing’s changed
You wanna believe that this distance
Severs us by space and time
But I think the soul to soul connection
Can’t be erased or left behind
Don’t need no plane ticket, baby
Just let me borrow your feathered wings
I’d be there by morning light
I’d turn inside out - give you everything

I didn’t want to leave you there
That night under the stars
I rationalized a thousand ways to stay
But we have to be who we are
And who I am is dyin’ now
Whispering softly through the night
Searching for a hint of you
To answer back and hold me tight
I see you everywhere I turn
Remembering my favorite smile
As the crow flies I would be with you
Across these 1800 miles
Don’t need no plane ticket, baby
Just let me borrow your feathered wings
I’d be there by morning light
I’d turn inside out - give you everything

You know the deepest parts of me
That’s what hurts the most
There’s no you at the end of the day
I’m living with your ghost
Watching as you play in that old garage
Standing by lockers in the hall
Talking forever on my porch swing
Or in that car while the kids played ball
Wrapping all around you at the movie
Or overlooking the river bluff
I still watch my driveway for you
‘Cause memories aren’t enough
Don’t need no plane ticket, baby
Just let me borrow your feathered wings
I’d be there by morning light
I’d turn inside out - give you everything
