Oh what a situation.
What bitter fruit you’re tasting.
Frustration escalates, I wait for your call.
If it wasn’t for your voice,
I wouldn’t have a telephone at all.
I see you when you’re sleeping,
I sneak in when you’re weeping.
I wonder how you’re keeping sense of it all.
Say it helps a little being piggy in the middle
When you call.
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
Now there’s no-one there like me
Then how does no-one there like me?
So, how are you sleeping?
Are you eating right?
Are you keeping up that smile of yours?
The one that makes the young girls feel special,
And leaves them all with the impression,
That you are not a child
I feel the same way too sometimes.
‘Cos in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes you see beyond this pantomime of restless
skin,
That you should not be starring in.
‘Cos none of this applies in your eyes
I want to live in your eyes. In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
As you grow older you’ll be closer and closer to me.
(And with this shadow I’ll watch you.)
Look over your shoulder, see I’m following you.
(By faith, through atrocity wash you.)
If you look inside your heart you will see that I’m
living there too.
(And when we are clean, we’ll travel ‘round the world)
Then once we’ve been, we’ll return back to home.
Just you and me, and we’ll snuggle close together
And we’ll talk of our adventures like we always do.
‘Cos I am you and you are me.
And in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
