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
