I just kissed you goodbye a half an hour ago
I know you're driving to the airport but
I just gotta pick up the phone and hear you one more time
Saying my name I must be going outta my mind

Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long baby now

I've never loved anyone like I love you 
So when you're not around I must confess 
I lose myself and I don't know who or where I am
I might be crazy, crazy 'bout being your man.

Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long 

When I finally see you I know it'll be like you never left at all
But that's small consolation, tonight as I'm waitin'
And prayin' that maybe you'll call
Call me, call me baby 
Tell me now

Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long whoaa

Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time just crawls along 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long
I look at my watch, stare at the clock, and they don't move
I don't either, I'm just frozen on the couch
Oh the seconds feel like hours, an hour's like a day
It's a twilight zone in this home when you go away
Please don't go away
