Everywhere I go, I see your smile
Expressing the omnipresence of someone's smile and the desire to see it more often.
I wish I could see yours once in a while
-The sun comes up and it sinks back down
Describing the routine of day and night, juxtaposing dreams in different places, expressing a desire to escape reality and be with someone.
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
-There's a lot to see from a wishing view
-But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
-'Cause there's no place like you
Repeatedly emphasizing that there is no place like the person being addressed.
No place like you
-No place like you
-Killing time in Texarkana, rolling tide in Alabama
Describing being physically distant, using travel metaphors and expressing a willingness to trade comforts for being with the person.
The closer that I get, you're still too far
-So half a dozen tanks of gas, fighting traffic getting back
-I'd trade a first-class seat in for your arms
-The sun comes up and it sinks back down
Reiterating the theme of dreams in different places and the desire to escape to be with the person.
