Arizona Calling Lyrics

It's midnight in New Jersey

And we are not who we were

I reach out for you in my sleep

Wake up and shiver in the heat of summer

In fever dreams I make believe

That you were mine to hold

But maybe I should cut it out

I'm 26 years old

I know I haven't talked about

How much my daydreams hurt

And if I'm honest with myself

I'm slipping under and it's getting worse

They talk about sending me back

To Tucson on a plane

And if they don't

I might just leave on my own anyway

It sucks to think

That we were just more trouble than it's worth

And who was I to boldly claim

You were my greater surgeon on this earth

You left me on the gurney

As they wheeled me down the hall

Gently telling me to hush because

You weren't there at all

Here's hoping you forget my face

By your wedding day

Sometimes, the people from your past

Are meant to be

And better off that way

But Arizona's calling me with peach and purple skies

I leave at 6am and I won't even say goodbye

My friend Jesse helped me settle in

But there's still more to do

I can't afford the trip back home

To see you even if I wanted to

But Arizona's beautiful

You'd love the desert skies

Sometimes I wish I didn't leave

Without

Saying goodbye

Good morning, folks

This is your captain, Spencer

For your flight towards Arizona

We're about to depart

We're expecting clear skies

Not a lot of turbulence

Hope you have a nice flight
