Permanent Tourists

Alone on a plane

I woke to the engine stop

Plan a course outside

Just to get caught up

By every obstacle along the way

So much to explain

And only a single day to plead my case

There's nothing else to do

Just hope it's not too late

For far too long

I kept you in the dark

Can't believe it took so long to start

How can I find you now

Cause it feels like time is running out

And I said when I left

That would not let you down

Gotta find my way back somehow

I am much older now

And I feel like time running out

When we get to the end

Can you promise that you'll be around

If I make you that promise now

Back out on the endless road that's become my home

This entire year on the lamb has shown me

All the more that this is in my blood

I don't mean to alarm

But the past two months have left me hysterical

It's time for something new

I get crazy without you

And all along we tried to keep apart

Can't believe it took so long to start

How can I find you now

Cause it feels like time is running out

And I said when I left

That would not let you down

Gotta find my way back somehow

I am much older now

And I feel like time running out

When we get to the end

Can you promise that you'll be around

If I make you that promise now

Driving back to our town

Take it slow, keep it down

Put this mess in the ground

Just my love, you came around

Now it seems we'll let it shine

Mine and yours, yours and mine

The longer that you wait

The harder it'll be

So if you want to stay

Why don't you come with me
