I Packed My Bags Year In Advance

i hope one day you hear this song
know the words sing along
so i might hear you say i miss you
i understand it's not your fault
circumstance has set this course
the charts are marked
and i don't think i'll see you soon
one day i'll sell this flag
and fly away
two thousand miles from here up north
to colder waters
and long winter nights
to danish beach-front houses
while passing out in your arms
those days were numbered
and a year has gone by
i wish you'd kissed me goodbye
with saline lips and hopeful eyes
so i wouldn't know it was over
the sky attempts to comfort me
offering it's sympathy
this field of broken stars
to match my broken heart
like coffee your accent's stronger in the morning
so i'm singing this song
to tell you i'm coming home soon
a week maybe two
the plans have been made
i have scrounged and i've saved
the tickets are purchased
i packed these bags a year in advance
and in the interest of romance
i bought you a rose and a bottle of wine
and i can't wait to see your face
can you wait to see mine?
