So many places that aren't home - towns and cities all unknown 
Orange and mercury they glow in a tapestry below 
Slide in silence and they're gone 
What are their lives like who are they - in rooms that hold the warmth of day 
What familiar faces, laughs and smells make their lives 
I know too well that no one knows my name 

Chorus

But I know that I'm blessed as the plane touches ground for soon the door will open and I'm home 
And we'll smile and we'll kiss maybe talk do a dish and finally I am known 

They say the shortest way's a line between two points, but we two find 
That the geometry we've learned makes us too apt to get burned 
For us, disproving's almost kind
We spend our days like pennies thrown carelessly into a drawer
Someday we might scoop them out and try to buy what no doubt
We never knew we owned

Chorus

And so I think of you wondering if you think of me
If the space between us grows, if the love between us knows
What could and couldn't be
I am traveling but I'm known the smiling hotel clerk puts down the phone
The strange key opens door 935 and I know that I've arrived
One more place that isn't home

Chorus
