The Terminal (feat. Natalie Tyer)

from The Tarmac Deluxe by Jonathan Facka

lyrics

I've been everywhere from Greenland
Qatar and Narita
To two long years in Pyongtaek and Gunsan
Well I swear I never thought I'd find love in New Jersey
It's all so fast-paced
There's so little time

But when I saw you on the phone
Well I knew that you were different
And I'd apologized for having been so distant
I was so caught up with my life building missiles and wishing
That I could land someone like you

Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I
Think about you
Every day when I am gone
But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal
The same way that I'd wait for you

Every day down on the gulf coast
Felt empty without you
This new-age way of dating is our normal
And oh, how I longed to feel your skin
Under my fingers again
I wish I could have climbed through that screen every one of those evenings

But it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I
Think about you every day when I am gone
But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal
The same way that I'd wait for you

I've never been the type for the long haul love
Seemed easier to think that was reserved for someone else
But when I heard the truth right from your drunken lovin mouth
I knew you'd been reserved for me

And on that faithful day
In that gazebo by the lake
I won't soon forget
The four words
I thought I'd never hear you say

Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and
I think about you every day when I'm gone
But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal
The same way that I'd wait for you

Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I
Think about you every day when I am gone
But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal
The same way I'd wait for you
But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal
The same way that I'd wait for you
