There's a girl

Across the sea

 And though I'm happy being loved it doesn't feel like love to me.

 Never feels like love to me.

 There's a girl

Next to me

 And she's happy being lovely and it's not enough for me.

 It's not enough for me.

You're out of mind, I'm out of time,

 I only want what I can't see,

But I'll still wait for her to run to me.

Once a boy

Now a man

 And even though I've grown 'the best I could' is still the best I can.

 I'm loving you the best I can

 And the girl

Who's across the sea

 And traveled halfway round the world to be the perfect girl for me

 In all the ways you used to be.

You're out of mind, I'm out of time

 I only want what I can't see

And everything about her's new to me.

Now I see everything we do as a routine

Familiarity breeds awful things in me.

I was out of my mind, now I'll make time

 To be the man that I could be

And I was blind to think that you weren't right for me

And I was blind to think it lay across the sea
