Fell asleep in the van
With a crick in my neck and a yearning in my brain
Making myself homesick looking at your photograph
I do the best that I can
To keep myself in check, but it's easy to complain
When our home sits on the binding of the US page of the road atlas side 26
Hours to go, and I'm holding my breath
Squeezing my Spiderman pillow to death
I can see your eyes when I hold mine closed so tightly
Absence will make your heart grow fonder
All of my dreams will come true
And if your heart starts to falter
I will tell you what I'll do!
Hold my breath all night, clench my fists so tight
Wish with all my might that I'll never fear
Grit my teeth too hard, travel very far
Wish upon the stars that I'll never...
I never feared you, whoa-oh-oh
With thoughts of you near me, whoa-oh-oh
I never feared you with thoughts of you and me, ah-ah, ah-ah
I camped out by the phone
Putting scratches in my notebook and waiting up until dawn
Humming this song back and forth over and over again
I do the best that I can
To keep myself in check, but it's easy to complain
When our home sits on the bindings of the US page of the road atlas
Oh, absence will make your heart grow fonder
All of my dreams will come true
And if your heart starts to wander
I will tell you what I'll do!
Hold my breath all night, clench my fists so tight
Wish with all my might that I'll never fear
Grit my teeth too hard, travel very far
Wish upon the stars that I'll never...
I never feared you, whoa-oh-oh
With thoughts of you near me, whoa-oh-oh
I never feared you with thoughts of you and me, ah-ah, ah-ah
I sleep as much as I can
I hold my heart in my hand
It's as much as I can stand
My weakness comes out once again
I sleep as much as I can
I hold my heart in my hand
It's as much as I can stand
My weakness comes out once again
Hold my breath all night, clench my fists so tight
Wish with all my might that I'll never fear
Hold my breath all night, clench my fists so tight
Wish with all my might that I'll never fear
Grit my teeth too hard, travel very far
Wish on all the stars that I'll never fear
