[Verse 1]
Something has come between me and the world that I knew
What I thought would last is falling apart
In the face of something new
How can I explain that I had no choice
The sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out
Drowns out my voice
And I'm just too far away
For her to believe what I say
And she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway

[Verse 2]
How can I write a letter the post is so slow
And if I'm to disappoint her that's something she ought to know
And I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone
How can so much harm be done by just two minutes
Spent on the phone?
You say that things will get better
But she would hate me if I let her
And she reads so much in every word that I say

[Verse 3]
And I thought that being apart would just bring us some variety
But after some time it seems clear that she's changed
In a different way from me
And I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame
It's just her, it's just me and everything that is
Just not the same
Sometimes I would turn back the clock
Recapture all that we've lost
But I couldn't give up all that we have today
