lyrics

I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough
I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough

This is much more than just the distance across the Atlantic
You’re a lifetime away
You play cards and go dancing
Every night in your dreams you say
I already miss the birthday cards
Though they never said much
They kept my memories fresh
And that was more than enough

I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough
I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough

When did time
Start moving so?
And why am I?
Going so slow
I go so slow, so slow

You tipped over
When we all stood up at once
But you never let that baby go
No you never let that baby go
You held on, you held on
While you waited for her
Never once, never once
Letting what ails you keep you from being strong

I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough
I’ve been making plans to stay
But they’re never quite threatening enough
