Jamie

Every time my plane shakes
My thoughts go right to you
And I still can’t figure out just what that means
Grab my armrests if I’ve got 'em
Hold my breath and swear the bottom’s
Gonna swallow us, but the attendant’s smiling
Haven’t heard a thing from you
Since you were talking about school
And how you thought that might be better for you now
You wanna teach photography
Age with grace and dignity
But you never granted that last one to me
Oh, Jamie
I think that’s what I heard you called
From some girl who never liked me out in Portland
Oh, Jamie
If you’re thinking of me now
I hope you know that I don’t need no explanation
Ain’t it strange to see our friends
The ones who knew us way back when
They’re getting married to different people we don’t know
Some I do but from a context
The world is just too small to connect
All the people and the places and you
Oh, Jamie
I think that’s what I heard you called
From some girl who never liked me out in Portland
Oh, Jamie
If you’re thinking of me now
I hope you know that I don’t need no explanation
'Cause when I touch down
I’ll go ahead
Pack my bags in single file and leave again
A different year
A different town
So don’t you worry, I stopped holding my breath hoping I’d see you around
Every time my plane shakes
My thoughts go right to you
And I still can’t figure out just what that means
