why's it feel so long lyrics

I just kissed you goodbye
a half an hour ago
I know you've driven 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've been gone
Why's it feel so long

Time keeps dragging on
Til you get back home
Why's it feel so long
Babyness

Cause I miss you babe

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 about being your man

Why's it feel so long
Since you've been gone
Why's it feel so long
I don't know why
Time keeps dragging on
Til you get back home
Why's it feel so long

When I finally see you
I know it'd be like never left at all
But there's no consolation
Tonight isn't waiting
Praying maybe you'll call
Call me, Call me, babe

Tell me now

Why's it feel so long
Since you've been gone
Why's it feel so long
I don't know why
Time keeps dragging on
Til you get back home
Why's it feel so long

Why's it feel so long
Since you've been gone
Why's it feel so long
I don't know why
Time just crawls along
Til you get back home
Why's it feel so long

I look in my watch
Stare at the clock
They don't move
I don't either
I'm just frozen on the couch
So seconds feel like hours
Hours is like a day
It's a twilight zone in this home
When you go away

Please don't go away
