Well it looks like they're running on time
And you can taste in my tears that I love you
So kiss me again and then tell me goodbye
'Cause airports ain't nothing but places you cry
They ain't nothing but places to cry
And this bartender's selling a lie
That all of these travelers are buying
'Cause everyone's looking for something to find
But bars ain't nothing but places you hide
They ain't nothing but places to hide
Places do nothing but take me away from your side
Now I'm stuck in this airport
And trying to get back to the place that you helped me to find
'Cause airports are places I am when I'm not by your side
This city is covered in lights
And everyone's out for the evening
But no one here cares if you're dead or alive
I guess cities ain't nothing but places to fly
They ain't nothing but places to fly
Places do nothing but take me away from your side
Now I'm stuck in this city
And trying to get back to the place that you helped me to find
'Cause cities are places I am when I'm not by your side
Yeah places are places I am when I'm not where you are
Well I dreamt that I held you tonight
We made love in an ocean of color
But when I awoke you were nowhere in sight
I guess dreams ain't nothing but places inside
They ain't nothing but places inside
Places do nothing but take me away from your side
And all that I want
Is to try and get back to the place that you helped me to find
Back to the place I belong which is right by your side
