She said, "Hawaii is too far"
"There must be something other than just to run away"
He said, "I'll send you a postcard"
"I gotta fly today"
"But I can love you like you want me to,"
She sighed, started to cry,
"It's just as well; you're just like everybody else"

"I'm going back to the mainland"
He told her over coffee and tea last Saturday
"Got to get off of this island"
"Should have left yesterday"
"But I could love you like you want me to,"
She sighed, started to cry,
"It's just as well; you're just like everybody else"

There comes a time in life
When the fear subsides
You realize she's passed you by

"So Hawaii was too far"
She broke him with her golden ring and looked away
"Never got your postcard"
"I'm getting hitched today"
"But I can love you like you want me to,"
He sighed, started to cry,
"It's just as well; I'm just like everybody else"
"Scared as hell that you were right"
"I'm just like everybody else"
