Lyrics
I dropped her off at gate seventeen
Watched you walk off where I couldn't be
That suitcase rolled on through the rain
I half-hope the storm might buy me a day
I bought you flowers for the night
Swear they would last you through the flight
Made sure the bag was Ziploc tight
Something in the air just felt so wrong
Like the hush of a half-sung country song
Know it ain't forever, but it sure feels long
A month, a week, a day
Too long and far too late
Count down every hour until May
Watch the clock move the minutes away
'Til then, I'll see you when it's been
A month, a week, a day
X marks the date on my desk
Just a square with your name in red
How long is this distance gonna take?
I swear each second calls your name
And, baby, I can't wait
A month, a week, a day
Too long and far too late
I'll count down every hour until May
Watch the clock move the minutes away
'Til then, I'll see you when it's been
A month, a week, a day
A month, a week, a day
A month, a week, a day
Too long and far too late
Count down every hour until May
Watch the clock move the minutes away
'Til then, I'll see you when it's been
A month, a week, a day
