Lyrics
YOU LAID YOUR HEAD IN THE HOLLOW OF MY SHOULDER
YOU HELD THAT TICKET TAKING YOU TO CALIFORNIA
I TRIED TO HOLD YOU THEN I LET YOU GO
WITH MY OLD SUITCASE FILLED WITH EVERYTHING YOU OWN
CHORUS:
FLY AWAY, FLY TONIGHT
I'M GIVING YOU A WAVE BUT WHAT YOU NEED IS THE TIDE
I'M TRYING NOT TO THINK BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO THE MOST
SO GO ON, LEAVE FOR THE LEFT COAST
I DROVE YOU TO THE PLANE AND WAITED BY THE GATE
YOU WOULDN'T LOOK AT ME AND I COULDN'T LOOK AWAY
YOU SAID IT WASN'T ANYTHING I DIDN'T DO
IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT YOU, BUT IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT YOU
CHORUS
EVERY OTHER TIME I MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT I'M TIRED OF RUNNING AND BEING LEFT BEHIND
CHORUS
I'M TRYING NOT TO THINK BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO THE MOST
