Sitting in my car
But we don't drive very far
The miles wouldn't make a difference
The words I say
Cancel out the way you'll think about me from now on
Don't say a word
I know it sounds absurd
But I have a reason to what I've done
The fault is mine
And that fact haunts my mind
So I will make you take the blame
Somehow you'll take it
Yes you will
And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I blame it on the planes
That take you miles away
I'll blame it on the planes
Those goddamn planes
I drive you home
And take the longest road
And stop at every sign I see
And I keep my speed real slow
Before you leave
I take one last look
At something I can never have again, again
The worst part of all of this
Is I'm the one who violated all the codes we kept
The whole charade was bitter sweet
Cuz as I was beneath the sheets
I was hoping you would call me
Just so I could hear your voice
And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I blame it on the planes
That take you miles away
I'll blame it on the planes
Those goddamn planes
But are you willing to give up those nights
I spent over your house
Straight from work
I weave through traffic
Just to sleep upon your couch
And now I feel like I have lost
A precious four years of my life
You can end without a question
Over something, that so trite
This is the worst mistake I've made
And I make thousands every day
If you give this one more shot
Ill make it up in every way
Ill call you twice I day
And drive you to the airport
Just so I can watch you leave
Even if you're leaving me
