The world is between us

you’re hours away

when you’re asleep I’m awake

and I don’t stay up late



Oh I sent you a letter

I hope it arrives

before the summer comes

and the longsome nights



I hate to be here

so far away

can’t wait to see you

don’t be late



But I wanna see the sun

the way you see it

I wanna sing the songs

late in the evenings



The world is between us

you’re hours away

I don’t know what to say

I’ll be here in the shade



I found a new place

to rest my eyes

with the sea on each side

to watch me cry



I hate to be here

so far away

can’t wait to see you

don’t be late



But I wanna see the sun

the way you see it

I wanna sing the songs

late in the evenings



and live with the feeling
