"This song is about a long distance relationship. I co-wrote this song with Lisa (my twin sister). We spent a lot of time in airports, hopping planes back and forth across the country when she was in Graduate School out in Los Angeles. Both of us noticed how so many people get involved (or stay involved) in long-distance relationships.  Lots of lonely men and women on airplanes eating cocktail peanuts. By the way... we wrote "One Way" on a TWA cocktail napkin. Still have it!

One Way

Your world fades beyond my window,
I've thought a lot about this compromise...
And here I am stuck on this airplane wondering why.
So why do we delay in this round trip dismay
when we're only wishing for one way?
All I hear are voices of strangers,
The moon's half empty in the sky...
And here I am stuck on this airplane 
wondering 
why
why 
why
When the knots pulling me tighter, start to tear.
Would you hang on or leave me?
Would you always be there?
So why do we delay in this round trip dismay
when we're only wishing for one way?
So why do we delay in this round trip dismay
when we're only wishing for one way?
