Longing

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

Said I'm longing to love you
I'm longing
I'm longing to love you
I'm still longing
Oh don't I know
Ohh
