I was traveling like Ulysses 

Trying to get back to you

But I didn’t know you were over it

I didn’t know you didn’t miss me 

As I tried so hard to tell you 

That you were everything to me

But I didn’t know you were over it

I didn’t know you didn’t miss me after all

Inside a motel

I kept you as the voice inside my head

Guiding me back home out on the road

Did you get my postcard?

I’d fall asleep with your name still my breath

But you wouldn’t be there when I got home

The band was busted before Boston

The bus broke in Chicago

When I was fighting for my sanity

Did you ever think of me?

In days gone to exhaustion

I dreamed you were beside me

You were in my thoughts at night

I thought maybe that you loved me, but after all

Inside a motel

I kept you as the voice inside my head

Guiding me back home out on the road

Did you get my postcard?

I’d fall asleep with your name on my breath

But you wouldn’t be there when I got home – come on! 

I thought I’d tell you stories

A tale of brave Ulysses

Shining in those darkest nights

It felt like you were with me but after all 

Inside a motel

I kept you as the voice inside my head

Guiding me back home out on the road

Did you get my postcard?

I’d fall asleep with your name on my breath

But you wouldn’t be there when I got home

I was traveling like Ulysses 

Trying to get back to you

But I didn’t know that you were over it

I didn’t know you didn’t miss me
