you were far from me but i could

hear every word you spoke

same words over and over

what do we get for our trouble and pain?



we want someone to long for

we want them here

all we can strive for

we want it now

and when it's here

we don't know what to do next



you would keep an open mind

but even i had to laugh

you sell your story over and over

changing names of places and friends



as you stay put on your side

we don't say you're foolish or proud

lean on us to take you out

or push you wherever feels right



we want someone to long for

we want them here

all we can strive for

we want it now

and when it's here

we don't know what to do next
