I'm going back to 505
d e d e d e d a g f e a e e g e
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty - five minute drive

In my imagination , you're waitin' lyin' on your side

With your hands between your thighs

Stop and wait a sec

I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
c d e d c d e
Or I did last time I checked
a e e d e
Not shy of a spark
d e e e e a g f e a e e g e
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
e d e d e f e d a1 e e d e
Frightened by the bite , though it's no harsher than the bark
a1 e d c d e d c b1 a1 e e g e
The middle of adventure , such a perfect place to start
a g f a a e e d e
I'm going back to 505

In my imagination , you're waitin' lyin' on your side
c d e d c d e
With your hands between your thighs
