I've got a road map of the states
I keep it in my suitcase
I've got the keys to the houses, the couches I sleep on

I got a head full of melodies keeping me company
I've got the names and the numbers of the pretty faces I know
And I'm longing to love you

Yes, I'm longing to love you again

I read the note that you wrote me for the thousandth time

I got a call from my folks
Where was I to begin
I sang the song that you played me

The one that made you cry
I drank the last of the bottle
Then I sang it again

Cause I'm longing to love
Yes, I'm longing to love you again


And it haunts me like a demon
The nightmare of you slipping away
So far away

Got the space I was craving
Now i can't recall why
I was so hell bent on leaving, saying goodbye

Now I'm longing to love you
Yes, I'm needing to love you
Yes, I'm longing to love you again
