I could listen to you for ages,
tell me a story - when you talk it’s all I hear.
A million things to worry about
but all I see is you.

Halfway to another halfway point
and the end is nowhere near.
Something else to think about,
but all that’s playing on my mind is you.

a million problems in the wide world,
but god knows willing or not,
my thoughts are with you.

The road is long but not open - hours to think,
mind trapped between skyscrapers and bums

I didn’t look back, I don’t know why.
I wonder if you watched me leave.

your voice is what I hear in my dreams
it catches me and carries me and keeps me safe.
the weight pulls me but never down.

My best friend is a hundred miles away.
loud and happy and proud
smiling and talking and telling stories.

lost in a world of people who don’t know,
but I think you do.

Lost and lonely, but somewhere I find a home
between the look in your eyes and the touch of your hand

I hope everyone we know looks and laughs
I hope they all think it might not last
because in the end that’s fine with me

I really don’t mind so much (about what they think).
