The Part-Time Poets - 747

Well, if I had one wish to make
It'd be to carry your heart so that it doesn't break
O'er many miles of amber waves of grain
And if you had to leave today
Well I don't quite know just what I'd say
But I know, I wouldn't keep my mouth shut
Cause if there's one thing that I know
It's that it takes some patience, yes the heart heals slow
And it'll take me quite a while, to let you go

I'm not saying that I mean what you think I mean
I'm just sayin', I mean to finally tell the truth
That if you were to jump on a 747 tomorrow
I hope you'll take a little piece of my heart with you

Darling, when will you learn that boys with guitars always let you down?
We're stoners and losers, beggars and choosers
We're no one worth having around

Make a promise to yourself
That the next time you let someone into your heart
They give you all you need and nothing less
Someone who's loving, humble and smart
Don't waste your time on guys like me
'Cuz we can only promise bachelor's degrees
And the hope that maybe someday, the band will make it
You're a Type-A gal, you got all you need
You can't smell the flowers if you don't plant the seeds
When someone gives you the chance of your life
You go on and take it

I'm not saying that I mean what you think I mean
I'm just sayin', I mean to finally tell the truth
That if you were to jump on a 747 tomorrow
I hope you'll take a little piece of my heart with you

Well, any day now, you'll be liftin' off to leave this town for good
Before you go, I wanted to tell ya, a couple of things that I never could

I'm not saying that I mean what you think I mean
I'm just sayin', I mean to finally tell the truth
That if you were to jump on a 747 tomorrow
I hope you'll take a little piece of my heart with you

Don't take this song as a means to find my way to you
It's just my way for me to finally tell the truth
That when you jump on that 747 tomorrow
I hope you'll take a little piece of my heart with you
I hope you'll take a little piece of my heart with you
