[Verse 1]
I heard your voice down the wire
From a hotel room in Colorado
We talked for hours
It changed our lives from different points in time
And as I drove across the Midwest
I rehearsed our memories in the rearview
Looking forward to the next time
I could be close to you
[Chorus]
We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You’re always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
As I don't want you to go
[Verse 2]
Thinking back about our home
Among the gumtrees
What’s it like for you?
How's your day?
I don't mean to be pedantic
I'm hopeless, but maybe romantic
I can't escape the feeling
That the distance is growing
[Chorus]
We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You're always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
As I don’t want you to go
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We’re starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You're always on my mind
’Cause I miss you
And I don't want you to go
We're starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise (I don't want you to go)
You’re always on my mind
'Cause I miss you
And I don't want you to go
