fell asleep in the van

with a crick in my neck and a yearning in my brain

making myself homesick looking at your photograph

i do the best that i can to keep myself in check

but it's easy to complain when our home sits

on the binding of the u.s. page of the road atlas side 26

hours to go and i'm holding my breath

squeazin' my spider-man pillow to death

i can see your eyes when i hold mine closed oh so tightly



absence will make your heart grow fonder

all of my dreams will come true

and if your heart starts to falter

i will tell you what i'll do...



hold my breath all night

clench my fists so tight

wish with all my might

that i'll never fear

grit my teeth too hard

travel very far

wish upon the stars

that i'll never...



i never feared you with

thoughts of you near me



i camped out by the phone

putting scratches in my notebook

and waiting up 'till dawn

humming this song back and forth

over and over again



i do the best that i can to keep myself in check

but it's easy to complain when our home sits

on the binding of the u.s. page of the road atlas



and if my heart starts to wander

i will tell you what i'll do...



hold my breath all night

clench my fists so tight

wish with all my might

that i'll never fear

grit my teeth too hard

travel very far

wish on all the stars

that i'll never...



i never feared you with

thoughts of you near me



i sleep as much as i can and hold my heart in my hand

it's as much as i can stand

my weakness comes out once again
