One Flight Away

It used to be midnight calls and ‘I miss you’ texts
Now it’s silence on the line and I’m just your ex
I still check the gate, hopin’ you’d come through
But that plane lands, and it’s never you

They say love don’t live here no more
But I still hear your boots on my porch

The roads still remind him of me
When we were young, wild, and free
Now I’m here drinkin’ sweet tea in his old shirt
While he’s out there probably makin’ her laugh till it hurts
He’s only one flight away, but he don’t call these days
Guess love turned into a stranger’s face

Mama said don’t chase what won’t chase you back
But I still keep hopin’ he’ll find his way back
That ticket’s cheap, and so was his goodbye
But I still dream of us under that southern sky

A part of me hopes she reminds him of me
The girl who believed love could set you free

The roads still remind him of me
When we were young, wild, and free
Now I’m here drinkin’ sweet tea in his old shirt
While he’s out there probably makin’ her laugh till it hurts
He’s only one flight away, but he don’t call these days
Guess love turned into a stranger’s face

I ain’t mad, I’m just tired of pretendin’
Love like ours shouldn’t end with no endin’
But strangers don’t knock like lovers do
And he don’t know the girl he once knew

The roads still remind him of me
When we were young, wild, and free
Now I’m here singin’ heartbreak in the moonlight
While he’s out chasin’ what don’t feel right
He’s only one flight away, but that plane’s never late
Funny how close you can be and still drift away

Yeah, he’s only one flight away…
But we’re a world apart today
