Another Day from Pure Motive by Marisa Yeaman

Eleven p.m. in a city far from home
I spend all my time travelling these days, but I’m always alone
Another cheap hotel room, another rented bed
I’m always thinking of my home and standing somewhere else instead

I should be loving you

Empty streets and empty arms, make these blue skies turn to grey
You know, sometimes everything we’re wishing for ends up standing in our way
Airport lounges, backstreet taxi’s, and love on pay-for-view
I can’t keep myself from wishing I could spend this night laying down with you

I should be loving you, I should be loving you

Another day in paradise
Another day goes by
My minds a million miles away
Sleeping by your side

Even in a crowded room, I still feel by myself
Cause you’re out there in your world, and I am somewhere else
Each night I wish away the miles, like an exile on this road
Honey, until I’m in your arms again, nowhere else is home

I should be loving you, I should be loving you

Will your heart still be warm when I get there
Please don’t think I’m not aching, and that I don’t care
Because I’d do anything, anything to be right there
When you close your eyes, I’ll be by your side

Another day in paradise
Another day goes by
My minds a million miles away
Oooo Ohh

Another day in paradise
Another day goes by
My mind has left my body baby
To be with you, holding you tonight
Oh Tonight
It’s just another day, my minds a million miles away
It’s just another day, in paradise
In paradise
It’s just another day, another day in paradise
