And wo just as the crow flies from point A to point B
I'm doing all I can to ease the constant struggle of the distance in between
Bless my heart for trying
Curse how far you are from me
I'm running all over hell's half acre just to make sure it's not the same old same routine
Lovebird, fly by night
We can wake up to each other and the sunrise
Lord willing and the creek don't rise
I can listen to your song for all the while
Don't let it burn out bright, baby
Surely, it would be a sin
They've been keeping you locked up from me while I've been burning all my candles at both ends
I'm pulling out my hair, girl
I'm grinding all my teeth
I go to bed and wake up thinking only of your touch
Lord, have mercy on me
Lovebird, won't you fly
We can wake up just to make love in the middle of night
Won't you ease my mind
I'm going nowhere. I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere fast, but it doesn't mean that I'm in last
I'm halfway there. I'm halfway there
In my head, I'm already there and we're jumping right into the swing of things like I'd like to
I'm halfway there. I'm halfway there
In my head... I'm only in my head. I'm only in my head
Oh, no. I'm only in my head
My daddy said to me, "Son, good things are worth the wait"
And "Don't you ever cry over some spilled milk or just because something doesn't go your way"
And faith's something I'm lacking but a little bird told me
"The sun is gonna shine down on a new day and soon all that's meant to be will surely be"
