Well, it looks like five thousand miles broke the camel's back 
But it's not as though i had a plan to win you back 
Because i don't know what i want 
But at least i know that much 
Now I'm afraid love came right up 
And it slapped me in the face, but i did not know 

'Cause love is different than you'd think 
It's never in a song or on a TV screen 
And love is harder than a word 
Said at the right time and everything's alright 
Love is different than you think 

So I won't expect a postcard from Trafalgar Square 
But I'd be lying if i said I didn't care 
Because you can't just turn it off 
And put a blindfold on your heart 
But i'm off to a good start 
A continent away, but i do not know 

But maybe you're the dream i'm waking from 
'Cause I see you everywhere I go 
Darlin' you are such a mystery to me, you know
