Chasing the sunset Headed west Leaving behind a girl Think it's for the best Trying to forget What a mess Feeling my forehead burn Feel her in my chest Cuz she was someone Who loves the city More than she could ever love me And she was what I Thought I was missing She misses everything but me I'm a mile high But I've never felt so low So now I'm Lookin our the window At The night sky And the clouds below Wish you were mine But you'll never know Flight attendant Gives me a water Says that I don't look well Do I need a doctor? I'll be fine ma'am I smile and say But could you ask the pilot To turn around the plane? Take me back to The girl from the city Cuz I forgot to tell her How she looked so pretty in the Glow of the the street lights When I had her with me Don't know if I'll ever get the Chance it's a pity I'm a mile high But I've never felt so low So now I'm Lookin our the window At the night sky And the clouds below Wish you were mine But you'll never know Landin back in Omaha I pretend to know it all And tell my friends the protocol Of living in the city Sky scrapers that grow too tall And subway trains and concert halls But I never mention you at all Oh, no girl from the city I'm a mile high But I've never felt so low So now I'm Lookin our the window At The night sky And the clouds below Wish you were mine But you'll never know
