When I asked you to mellow out
I was only thinking about myself
It wasn't 'till that day came around
You'd already been counting down
Cause five weeks ain't that long
She let go of hand and started walking away
Turned me around and then kissed me
Told me she couldn't handle being this far away
But all I could say was don't miss me
Cause five weeks ain't that long
And baby you're so strong
Don't forget about me when you're on your own
It won't be that long 'till I'm back home
I'm thinking of you when I'm alone
Five weeks ain't that long that long
My arms were wrapped so tight around her
Her tears got soaked up in my shirt
As she cried into my shoulder
I had to say goodbye first
Cause five weeks ain't that long
And baby you're so strong
Don't forget about me when you're on your own
It won't be that long 'till I'm back home
I'm thinking of you when I'm alone
Five weeks ain't that long that long
Summertime on the east coast
Got me feeling differently
You're the one that I love the most
Cause you gave that gift to me
Oh
Don't forget about me when you're on your own
It won't be that long 'till I'm back home
I'm thinking of you when I'm alone
Five weeks ain't that long that long
Ah yea
You're on your own
On your own
Own
I'm thinking of you when I'm alone
Five weeks ain't that long that long
Oh
