How have you been
In the shape you were in?
I'm surprised that you got where you're goin'

Who would believe
What a date you would be?
If I knew, I'd have thought about knowing

And in between now and the last time we met
I'd open the door if I met you again
And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends
From here 'til ten miles from nowhere

What is that there
In your brown paper box?
I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost

And I'd sworn it was you
Who was destined and gone
To the pressure of past undertakings

And had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
For the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee
And had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
From here 'til ten
From now to ten miles from nowhere
