Lost in soho flying so low,
Watching window lights go out
Dreaming dreams of feeling whole over the bar room shouts
Wish this gloom was temporary, wish a friend was here.
Wish I weren’t so ordinary my ordinary fear.
But this time tomorrow I’ll be away
on the long roads of life from NY to LA
Chasing a lover that I can’t get to stay
I wish I knew better than that
Moves like water rushes closer
Just to draw back like the tide
She’s every thing you could ever hope for when she’s on your side
But if she feels it’s less than perfect she will soon be gone
She don’t see how something worth it
Can be worth working on
So this time tomorrow I’ll be away
on the long roads of life from NY to LA
Chasing a lover that I can’t get to stay
I wish I knew better than that
I wish I knew better and I do in my head
But my head aint what brings me to jump from my bed
At the sigh of a shadow
The shape of her hand on the walls of my room.
Oh the ghost of the smell of perfume
Deep in memory, packed for travel.
Maybe this I won’t regret.
Feeling all of my plans unravel
The closer that they get
this time tomorrow I’ll be away
on the long roads of life from NY to LA
Chasing a lover that I can’t get to stay
I wish I knew better than that
Wish I knew better
This time time tomorrow I’ll be so far from the memories we made
Between people and cars
People don’t change they just change where they are
And I wish I knew better than that
Wish I knew better than that
