I don't want to be standing here

With this ticket for this outbound plane

Oh, I've been here before

Somehow this doesn't feel the same

Talk is cheap

So we could talk all night long

And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong

'Cuz I don't want to be standing here

Don't want to be talking here

And I don't really care who's to blame

'Cuz if love won't fly on its own free will

It's gonna catch that outbound plane

The old folks say

Love is not forever anymore

Because these young people walk away from love alone

To pace the floor

Young or old

I say that love is still the same

You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heel again

Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing

Neither cares where that other heart is going

But, if love won't fly on its own free will

It's gonna catch that outbound plane

That frown you're wearing's

Just your halo turned upside down

Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found?

These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground

You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out
