lyrics

10 minutes I'm on the ground
3 hours of air plane sounds
Jet lagged with a heavy bag
she'll be waiting at the gate

A smile like a Summer day
And a heart to match her face
I can't say I feel the same
When I hear another name

And I know somebody wants me
But they're not the one I love
I know the feeling too well
Or the lack thereof
And sorry isn't quite enough
Isn't fair or makes the cut
We never get the things
We want too much

I've been told to play the game
Toss around a different name
I don't want to sing that song
No one wants to be a pawn

And I know somebody wants me
But they're not the one I love
I know the feeling too well
Or the lack thereof
And sorry isn't quite enough
Isn't fair or makes the cut
We never get the things
We want too much

Is it me she love
Or just the thought of us
Am I In the same boat
Have we dug the same hole

And I know somebody wants me
But they're not the one I love
I know the feeling too well
Or the lack thereof
And sorry isn't quite enough
Isn't fair or makes the cut
We never get the things
We want too much
no we never get the things we want

This record is awesome cause Spencer Garland is my buddy. And I wrote one song on it and play on it! But mostly because he is my buddy. Aaron C. Porter
