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
