Well I'm busted in Stockholm I ain't got no money

To pay for an airplane, bus fare or fast train

But I gotta get home my woman has been untrue

She's got me feelin so beautifully blue

She won't take me back no I know

And the jealousy rubs me like sand

But in my heart I know I must go

After all I am only a man

We hadn't exchanged words in months

When I met her in Amsterdam

She laughed away my reservations

Said thanks for a hell of a one weekend stand

Betters come and better days go

I fell back in love with you I thought you should know

That good times move so fast bad seems so slow

I knew this was fact as your train rolled away from the station

I waved cause it didn't occur

As I stared through the glass at you face as you passed

Never again would I see the way you looked at me like you did

And that's why I said if and when you decide

To stand ignoring the tide

you'll end up way over your head

And so I walk the streets alone

late at night I am unaware of the strangers

and the dangers they pose me

And as I'm walking by the stores I see my image in the mirrors

And it's clearer that the seasons changing me

So fly me away take me away fly me away

So fly me away take me away fly me away

So fly me away take me away from this god damn place

I landed in NYC to late for you and me

It seemed at the airport my time was just too short

I could tell from the tone in your voice as it rang right through the phone

Once again you decided to move on

You didn't want me back no you said

Your stepping out with your landlord instead

I just laughed and scratched my head

Pretty sure you told me he was pitiful

Betters come and better days go

I fell back in love with you I thought you should know

That good times move so fast bad seems so slow

I knew this was fact as your train rolled away from the station

I waved cause it didn't occur

As I stared through the glass at you face as you passed

Never again would I see the way you looked at me like you did

And that's why I said if wand when you decide

To stand ignoring the tide

you'll end up way over your head

And so I walk the streets alone

late at night I am unaware of the strangers

and the dangers they pose me

And as I'm walking by the stores I see my image in the mirrors

And it's clearer that the seasons changing me

So fly me away take me away fly me away

So fly me away take me away fly me away

So fly me away take me away from this god damn place
