I've been in Chicago
for an hour or so
Waiting to board a plane
I've been in Chicago
Just so you know
I'm flying to Madrid, Spain
Looks like nothing will be the same
I'm getting on a plane
Watching things start to change
right before my eyes
Watching all I'm leaving behind
From the window of that plane
watching all this fade
I miss Des Moines already
I only left this morning
That quiet little city
It had more than enough
but never enough for me
I was ready to leave
but I left the biggest part of me
Shattered it in two
a piece for me, a piece for you
I'm getting on a plane
Watching things start to change
right before my eyes
Watching all I'm leaving behind
and all I see are the clouds
from the window of that plane
There's no turning back now
Please forgive me, now that I'm gone
When I come home, will we still be wrong?
Will we find our way back together
or should I just stay in Spain forever?
Over the ocean, a realization
I'll be gone for so long
Can I call you when I'm in Chicago again?
Can I call you when I'm flying back in?
Oh.....
From the window of a plane
watching all this fade
Nothing will ever be the same
