And saw your face across the screen
 And as I poured my coffee,
 I picked up a magazine

 Chorus:
 But as I turned the page
 And looked inside
 There you were again (there you were)
 Oh these lonely times
 They never seem to end
 You're too far
 I know I should be there where you are

 Today I did some shopping
 Just had to clear my mind again
 I can't stop thinkin' bout you
 I hopped into a taxi
 In a moment I was home
 Home again

 Chorus:
 But as I turned the key
 And slept inside
 My heart could not pretend (could not pretend)
 Oh these lonely times
 They never seem to end
 You're too far
 I know I should be there where you are

 Tossing and turning in my sleep
 I can't take being without you
 I'm gonna catch the next plane out
 I got to get to where you are
 No matter how near or far
 I got to get there where you are
 I know

 Chorus:
 But as I turned the key
 And slept inside
 My heart could not pretend (could not pretend)
 Oh these lonely times
 They never seem to end
 You're too far
 I know I should be there where you are
 I wanna be where you are
 I need to be where you are
 I wanna be I wanna be baby
 You know I need to be
 I know I should be there where you are
