Touchdown in Miami, plane landed

Half a G in my pocket from last week’s show in Wiscansin

Didn’t come here to leave, came here to kick it with Lauren and Steve

And take care of this agenda up my sleeve

She’s round here somewhere,

But I’ll settle the search for one table and one chair

Cup’a coffee for the afternoon just to set the mood

I need to talk to this woman, but right now I need the room

I ran the pattern gathered everything I had to

Pressed against her lips like three minutes ‘til apocalypse

I’ll deal with the facts after the facts matter

Right now doesn’t exist, time stood still at the Clevelander

Full arm around her waist cos’ when I let go

She’s back to Boston, I’m back on tour

Next city, next show. M-P-L-Yes I know

This moment ain’t forever, but I’ll ride it like it’s stolen because

-

CHORUS

(In a little while)

I’ll be on a plane headed across the map

Hummin’ a song that might sound somethin’ like this

Gone, but not forgotten cos’ I’m headed back

Gotta see the girl one more time, sooner than

(In a little while)

-

I’ll be thinkin’ this is bullshit

Ya danced with one girl, and the woman’s got you cool whipped

I can play it cooler than the Cool Kids Gone Fishin’

But now I’m flippin’ pennies in the soda fountain gone wishin’

Miami has it and somehow I’m fittin’ in

Nicely between traffic on Collins and Meridien

But she’s on my mind like my cerebellum

I wanna love her like Cali loves to say “hella”

I wanna love like the songs ya shout in the shower

Uncontrollable, loud, from the soul, without a doubt- yeah

Sometimes we have to give in to better understand what we can take

So if I’m goin’ vulnerable, I’m streakin’ down 5^th and Main

Shameless, naked, and dangerous

Writin’ love letters and forget-me-nots without  datin’

It’s not a question, I’m headed to Boston to see ya

But don’t flatter yourself, it’s just for coffee to meet up

CHORUS

Steve believe I’m gonna make it

Even though half of Iowa thinks we’re already made men

I’m pullin’ double back tucks without the safe net

Landin’ planes, trains, and both feet upon the pavement

Hands down this is the comeback anthem

Even when my heart dropped through the floor for Patrick Vandam

Got the news late, buzzed like lights on Ocean Drive

Took a seat and watched it all roll by in slow motion hype

She took me by the hand and asked me what’s it like

I said walkin’ the wrong direction and doin’ something right

Just heard a good friend’s gone for life

Ya live a little more for the love, for the fight

For the everythings and anythings prologued to now

It’s why you start askin’ when and stop askin’ how

No rest for the livin’, no rest for the wicked

I’ll leave the rest for the rest- patience, in time we’ll get it in…

CHORUS
