why couldn't we ever work?
these feelings bubble up to the surface
why couldn't we ever work?
I wish I could help feeling nervous

I just want us to be
in each other's arms
it means something to me
enraptured by your charm

but why do you have to be so far?
can my love reach across the stars?
take my heart to where you are
this distance is tearing me apart

oh this distance tears me apart

it tears me apart

should we see it through?
I can't be next to you
you're a phone call away
but that's where you stay

nothing ever seems to go our way
the whole world seems to be keeping us apart
when we'll be together, I count the days
time just never seems to start

I long for you
how I wish you knew
I long for you
I want to see this feeling through

will our love bring us together
or will we be forever separate
it makes me feel so desperate
that I can't bring us together

I long for you
how I wish you knew

I long for you
how I wish you knew

I long for you
how I wish you knew

I long for you
how I wish you knew
I long for you
I want to see this feeling through

will our love bring us together
or will we be forever separate
it makes me feel so desperate
that I can't bring us together
