We're both here alone.
No longer stuck between the phone.
Now we can touch and hold.
The feeling that's worth more than gold.
The feeling of two to share
A world without a care
but this is only a midnight's dream.
So things aren't what they seem.
It's a much different world on the outside.
To the place where you cried
oh to a place where there are bills to pay
and painful words we all have to say.
So remember when we're a world away
and we don't have much to say.
A full time job and bills to pay
raves to see and pills to party.
A distance longer than love.
A distance lower than above.
A distance that makes it all crumble.
The game lost by a stupid fumble.
A way to show you your really alone
when you're stuck on the end of a phone.
Feeling like you are in loves prison
and you thought it would all be a given.
A given of hope, a given of relaxation
instead of another typical situation.
A love that you can touch and hold.
A way to make you feel not so old.
A kiss in the morning noon and night.
A breath on your back to make your feel right.
Another set of gangly feet
to keep company under the sheet.
Another way to forget the past.
Another race where we came in last.
