Lyrics

Hahahahaha
Oh, this is gonna be good
Let's do this
Oh yeah
I was there at the airport
Stood at gate twenty-nine
I was there at arrivals
When the sign said your flight had "arrived"
Oh, you stepped off the plane
Had your coat pulled so tight
Yeah, your smile was so strained
Oh, there's something not right
No, you never arrived
Oh, you showed up on time, every place that we went
But it ain't about minutes, or the time that you spent
Oh, I needed your heart
Yeah I thought you would try
But it can't be 'bout stayin'
When you never arrived
Oh, we had a small table
Down at Seventh and Fifth
Had our usual chairs
But you really weren't there
Yeah, it felt like a shift
You smiled at my jokes
Said the food was just "fine"
But your eyes wouldn't lock
They would drift while I talked
Cause you never arrived
Oh, you showed up on time, every place that we went
But it ain't about minutes, or the time that you spent
Oh, I needed your heart
Yeah I thought you would try
But it can't be 'bout stayin
When you never arrived
Oh, now some folks come closer
Then they just drift away
Yeah some hearts they stay guarded
Though they say that they'll stay
I'm not sure that you knew it
Don't think you meant wrong
But I knew in my heart
That you wouldn't stay long
No, I don't mean my street, love
Or the downtown or plains
I don't mean stuck in traffic
Or the places we stayed
I just mean a fine place
Where a heart starts to show
That it's open for business
And it's ready to grow
Oh, you showed up on time, every place that we went
But it's not about minutes, or the time that you spent
Oh, I needed your heart
Yeah I thought you would try
But it can't be 'bout stayin
When you never arrived
Yeah I'm back at the airport
Back at gate twenty-nine
But this time it's departing
and I'm doing just fine
Yeah, I've gone for some sunshine
Yeah my heart it survived
Oh, I'll send you a postcard
When I've finally arrived
Hahahaha... see you around, love
