Chasing the sunset
Headed west
Leaving behind a girl
Think it’s for the best
Trying to forget
What a mess
Feeling my forehead burn
Feel her in my chest
Cuz she was someone
Who loves the city
More than she could ever love me
And she was what I
Thought I was missing
She misses everything but me
I’m a mile high
But I’ve never felt so low
So now I’m
Lookin our the window
At The night sky
And the clouds below
Wish you were mine
But you’ll never know
Flight attendant
Gives me a water
Says that I don’t look well
Do I need a doctor?
I'll be fine ma’am
I smile and say
But could you ask the pilot
To turn around the plane?
Take me back to
The girl from the city
Cuz I forgot to tell her
How she looked so pretty in the
Glow of the the street lights
When I had her with me
Don't know if I’ll ever get the
Chance it’s a pity
I’m a mile high
But I’ve never felt so low
So now I’m
Lookin our the window
At the night sky
And the clouds below
Wish you were mine
But you’ll never know
Landin back in Omaha
I pretend to know it all
And tell my friends the protocol
Of living in the city
Sky scrapers that grow too tall
And subway trains and concert halls
But I never mention you at all
Oh, no girl from the city
I’m a mile high
But I’ve never felt so low
So now I’m
Lookin our the window
At The night sky
And the clouds below
Wish you were mine
But you’ll never know
