How many times can I say "good night"
Without feeling her breath on mine?
How many times can we talk 'til 2 a.m. when she called at 9?
How many drinks can I pretend that I did not drink alone?
How many red Xs until she comes home?
How many clues did I leave 'til she knew
How I'm coping without her here?
How many times can I close my eyes
And open them and hope she'd reappear?
How many inches make up one mile?
Impatience I haven't outgrown
How many red Xs until she comes home?
I've worn one marker down on my calendar
And one writing her name on my arm
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
How many times can I say "good night"
Without feeling her breath on mine?
How many inches make up one mile?
Impatience I haven't outgrown
How many red Xs until she comes home?
I've worn one marker down on my calendar
And one writing her name on my arm
I hurt my little toe on my steamer trunk
I'm no good without my good luck charm
I've worn one marker down writing wedding vows
And one writing the words to this song
How many red Xs until she comes home?
