A bittersweet song about unrequited commitment.
Lyrics
She's standing at the airport a carry-on in hand. The world is waiting for her to say good-bye to her man. The ring is in his pocket he asked her on the way. She said no, you know I'm no good when I feel I gotta stay. The porter's pointing at the sign the cars are crowding up behind no time for things he don't know how to say. He pulls her close into his chest his arms wrap her up in a little nest he knows she'll be the first to pull away he can only take away -- One last touch for the lonely nights ahead. One last touch for the tears he'll never shed. He asked her for forever but honey, I'm not that kind One last touch is all she left behind. She promises to call him once she settles in. Maybe he can come and visit she can always use a friend. The smell of her will linger when he watches her walk away. The whiff of perfume she left on his sleeve to mark her stay. The porter's pointing at the sign the cars are crowding up behind no time for things he don't know how to say. He pulls her close into his chest his arms wrap her up in a little nest he knows she'll be the first to pull away he can only take away -- One last touch for the lonely nights ahead. One last touch for the tears he'll never shed. He asked her for forever but honey, I'm not that kind One last touch is all she left behind.
