Lyrics

I watched the planes come in

I observed the arrival of airplanes

on the early morning flights

During the early morning flights

But I could not stand to see them land without you

But I couldn't bear to witness them landing without you

Now I'm thumbing through my fortyfives on another endless night And the same old lines going back in time

Now I'm going through my collection of forty-fives on another endless night, reminiscing with the same old lines from the past

Tell me this is nothing new

Tell me that this situation is not unique or unusual


Well I feel like Buddy Holly

Expressing a feeling of resemblance to Buddy Holly

'cause it's raining in my heart

Because there's a sense of sadness in my heart

All the sad songs take me back to you

All the melancholic songs bring me back to memories of you

now that we are apart

Now that we are separated

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say I wish it was yesterday

Understanding the emotions that Paul McCartney experienced when he wished to go back to the past


So I sit here playing Solitaire

Sitting alone and playing the game of Solitaire

Thats's a game I know so well

A game that is familiar and known well

Ever since that day you called to say it's over

Since the day you conveyed that our relationship was over

Now I've made my resignation at the Heartbreak Hotel While I'm living without you

Resigning myself to the Heartbreak Hotel, living without you

I'm thinking about you

Contemplating thoughts of you

Like only the lonely do

Similar to how lonely people often do


Well I feel like Buddy Holly

Reiterating the feeling of being like Buddy Holly

'cause it's raining in my heart

Due to the prevailing sadness in the heart

All the sad songs take me back to you

Reflecting on the impact of sad songs that bring back memories of the past

now that we are apart

Now that we are no longer together

Now I know what Paul Simon meant by the words he found I wish I was homeward bound

Understanding the sentiment expressed by Paul Simon about longing to return home


Well I feel like Buddy Holly

Reiterating the feeling of similarity to Buddy Holly

'cause it's raining in my heart

Because there's a sense of sadness in the heart

All the sad songs take me back to you

Reflecting on the impact of sad songs that bring back memories of the past

now that we are apart

Now that we are no longer together

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say I wish it was yesterday

Understanding the emotions that Paul McCartney experienced when he wished to go back to the past

I wish it was yesterday

Expressing a desire for the return of yesterday

I wish it was yesterday

Repeating the wish for it to be yesterday
