Saw it coming from afar

Always knew it would be hard

The telephone is our best friend

Transmissions do not ease the lonely

Circumstances mean so much

Been so long without your touch

Love ain't made to bend, to bend, bend

And the static is the worst of enemies



Lungs fill to take a final breath



Screaming skies above

I've had enough

I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,

Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain

It's killing me to hear you voice

Facing that we have no choice

And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire



It's easier to be naive

It's harder 'cause I'm losing sleep

And ignorance is our best friend

Insomnia's the death or dreaming

Sorry if my words seem cold

Trying to be rational

Are you on the other end, end, end?

'Cause the static is the worst of enemies



Lungs fill to take a final breath



Screaming skies above

I've had enough

I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,

Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain

It's killing me to hear you voice

Facing that we have no choice

And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire



And if this rain has no mercy

Rain has no mercy, rain has no mercy

Go, I'll go

And when the times become trying

Times become trying, times become trying

Explode, explode



Don't hang up before we take another step

My lungs fill to take a final breath, a breath



Screaming skies above

I've had enough

I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,

Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain

It's killing me to hear you voice

Facing that we have no choice

And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire



Screaming skies above

I've had enough

I'm standing in the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain,

Standing in the rain, the rain, the rain

It's killing me to hear you voice

Facing that we have no choice

And fighting off the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

Fighting off the pain, the pain, on the wire

On the wire, On the wire, On the wire,

On the wire, On the wire, On the wire
