Lyrics
I got jet lag
leaving your city
and it's too bad
it really is a pity
But what's done is done it's over-
there's no turning back now
I look out the window
and all I see are clouds.
Why do I feel like I'm heading in the wrong direction
when I'm already two thousand miles away?
That should be enough to give this thing up
After all, I'm the one who walked away
But I'm still thinking about you
and darling, I'll think about you
every night and every day.
I'm still remembering
that last day
"You can't have everything"
was all you had to say
So I held back the tears
and kissed you good-bye
I'm not the type
to let a man see me cry.
Why do I feel like I'm heading in the wrong direction
when I'm already two thousand miles away?
That should be enough to give this thing up
After all, I'm the one who walked away
But I'm still thinking about you
and darling, I'll think about you
every night and every day.
Well I can't deny
what my body tell me
though it's not often right
Why can't I train my heart to see
you were just a fool
wasting all my time?
(But damn, you felt so good
lying next to me at night)
Why do I feel like I'm heading in the wrong direction
when I'm already two thousand miles away?
That should be enough to give this thing up
After all, I'm the one who walked away
But I'm still thinking about you
and darling, I'll think about you
every night and every day.
