I met a lady on the plane to California
And she reminded me so much of you
And when she asked what I was doing here, well then it hit me
The crazy things the dollar makes us do

[Chorus:]
I should be with you right now, a step at your end
I should be holding you instead of losing my mind
Just when you need me the most, so does the coast
But I swear I'll make it up to you this time

I pass a family as they hug before departure
It just reminds me you're alone
I hold the quarter that will take my voice back to you
And hear you say "I need you here at home"

[Chorus: x2]
