I took this job cuz it was my dream and I work hard for it You congratulated me for not settling for a lesser life And you followed dreams of your own and I love you for it But now success is bittersweet, it swept you up, and took you far away Now we simply take it day by day But days without you go slow And someday in a week or nine Our paths will cross and for a time You'll hold me like you'll never let me go By day it's clear my mission's here Three thousand miles feels like a few At night alone I hold the phone I'd toss it all to be with you My friends laugh when we're out sometimes A girl gets aggressive She'll rub my leg I'll hit the street She can't compete cuz no one can touch you Now I'm spoiled by all the things you do I'm ruined and it shows And someday... In my mind, there will be a time when we can stay together like I know we're meant to It's all right I keep telling myself if I wait then someday we'll be close if I hold on The thought of us together makes me strong I'm stronger than you know
