I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don't know what I would do
You got to understand it's a hard life,
That I'm going through
[Chorus]
And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you
L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
[Chorus]
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you
[Chorus]
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don't know what I would do
You got to understand it's a hard life,
That I'm going through
[Chorus]
And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you
L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
[Chorus]
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you
[Chorus]

Maybe Bob Seger just makes me think of "Turn the Page," but I see a lot of similarities with this song and that one.
The feeling to me is the same. It's about being on the road and travelling and surviving, and being alone. Where you make a living and in doing so, leave your loved one behind.
I always get this imagery, of being somewhere far away in such a cold place, with the wind blowing against your hair, your hands tucked in your coat pockets, and taking a stroll and just thinking.
How this life is so much a place we don't fit in sometimes. Even if there was a way to see your family or loved ones across the globe in an instant, well I wish it wasn't fiction.
We all work so hard in this life. We all try to be someone. And it gets incredibly difficult just being here at times. How we all need that someone we can always think about, remember, and pull us through those tough times.
I hope that each and every one of you has that someone. Or if not, I hope you will.
Sometimes the sufferring involved with loneliness is merely just the fact that you don't have someone that thinks of you. That you don't have someone that is watching over you.
To be erased is the worse thing to me.
