Like a star
Overhead
You're jetting away
(Another set of feelings
That I'm mailing your way)
On a paper plane
Hear me?
I called your name
(I scribbled out all of my feelings
Tell me you feel the same)
We fly in circles
And fall onto solid ground
A silly merry-go-round
I never imagined
Another reaction
To see you once again
On a plane was hapless
The meeting was simple
The simplest of meetings
You're gone and I understand that
So completely
So then I'm giving up
So then I've had enough
Like a star
Overhead
You're jetting away
(Another set of feelings
That I'm mailing your way)
And in a small machine
Built for one, I'll bring you me
(I tried giving you my feelings
Don't know if they can reach)
I let it go
Like a boat
And I let it roam
And like I did long ago--
I knew we were touching
The end of our love and
I knew that it would take
More than hope to find it
The meaning was simple
The simplest of meanings
You're gone and I understand that
We'll never be
I know that we're touching
The end of our love and
I know that it will take
More than hope to find it
The meaning is simple
The simplest of meanings
You're gone and I understand that
We'll never be
And then I gave it all up
And then I'd given enough
"I stored it away
Into a great space shuttle
And now...
I will find you again"
I never imagined
Another reaction
To see you once again
With a ship was hapless
The meaning was simple
The simplest of meanings
You're gone and I really
Knew it all along
This isn't an ending
But just the beginning
And getting to you is hard
But I'm sure it's you I'll see
It's you I'm never reaching... (x2)
