Close As Strangers

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Six weeks since I've been away

And now you’re saying everything has changed

And I’m afraid that I might be losing you

And every night that we spend alone

It kills me thinking of you on your own

And I wish I was back home next to you

Oh, every day you feel a little bit further away

And I don’t know what to say

Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line?

Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

Won’t give up, even though it hurts so much

Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces

Now it feels we're as close as strangers

Late night calls and another text

Is this as good as we're gonna get?

Another timezone taking me away from you (away from you)

Living dreams in fluorescent lights

While you and I're running out of time

But you know that I'll always wait for you

Oh, every day you feel a little bit further away

And I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line?

Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

Won’t give up, even though it hurts so much

Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces

Now it feels we’re as close as strangers

On the phone, I can tell that you wanna move on

Through the tears I can hear that I shouldn't have gone

Every day gets harder to stay away from you

So tell me are we wasting time

Talking on a broken line?

Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

Wasting time (Wasting time)

Talking on a broken line? (Broken line)

Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we’re as close as strangers

Won’t give up (Won't give up)

Even though it hurts so much (hurts so much)

Every night I'm, losing you in a thousand faces

Now it feels we're as close as strangers

Six months since I went away

And to know everything has changed

But tomorrow I'll be coming back to you
