if it's a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive
you're waiting lying on your side
with your hands between your thighs
when you look at me like that
i'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
or i did last time i checked
a knife twists at the thought that i should fall short of the mark
though it's no harsher than the bark
such a perfect place to start
if it's a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive
you're waiting lying on your side
with your hands between your thighs
but i crumble completely when you cry
'cause it seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye"
