I don't want to be standing here With this ticket for this outbound plane 'Cause I've been here before But somehow it doesn't feel the same Talk is cheap, so we could talk all night long We may never figure out just where our love went wrong [Chorus] I don't want to be standin' here And I don't want to be talkin' here And I don't really care who's to blame 'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will Its gonna catch that outbound plane The old folks say loves not forever anymore Because these young people walk away From love alone, to pace the floor Young or old I say that love is still the same And you may walk away from love But you'll fall head and heel again [Chorus] Two lonely hearts in this aiport knowing Neither cares where that other heart is going But if love won't fly on its own free will Its gonna catch that outbound plane Hat crown you're wearin' Is just your halo turned upside down Where is the laughter we once shared Back in the lost and found These broken wings are gonna leave me here To stand my ground You can have this ticket For that lonely plane that's flyin' out [Chorus]
