I can't remember when we weren't together
and that's how I wanted to stay.
We'd been as high as a 747 and lower than a dive on Broadway
But in spite of all that,
I was naive to believe this was a mutual thing
Now I know the truth judging from
your expression looking at this ring
I'm just a layover,
I ain't the keepin' kind
A safe place to land,
but not what you had in mind
I'm just a layover,
something to do while you wait
For the right guy to sweep you off your feet,
to fly you away
I have to admit,
this isn't the least bit like how I thought it would be
I start to sweat cause you ain't
spoken yet and everyone's looking at me
How did I get it so wrong?
The paths that we're on have never been the same
I'm holding the trip of a lifetime
but you're waiting on the next plane
I'm just a layover,
I ain't the keepin' kind
A safe place to land,
but not what you had in mind
I'm just a layover,
something to do while you wait
For the right guy to sweep you off your feet,
to fly you away
I thought you were the one,
but now that we're done
I
see
that there's someone else waiting
somewhere with their heart set on me
You're just a layover,
you ain't the keepin' kind
A safe place to land,
but not what God had in mind
Yeah, you're just a layover,
something to do while I wait
For the right girl to sweep me off my feet,
to fly me away
