Great Lakes

Over great lakes with great pains in my back
From your couch where we spent most of our time
Eye to eye
Please stop asking me why

I see you haven't decorated anything
You say it's not your thing you didn't get the gene
but you made me feel at home
but now I've gone away and left you all alone

A thousand miles away
From here to you
Doesn't feel as close as I'd like it to
A thousand miles away
Who's to blame
We are distant from each other just the same

Watching foreign trees sway to the sound of the wind
so crisp and clear I didn't wanna leave it
but now I'm back in my home
And I get the feeling you don't feel so close

A thousand miles away
From here to you
Doesn't feel as close as I'd like it to
A thousand miles away
Who's to blame
We are distant from each other just the same

Memories flashed back of me sitting in my driveway
Talking on the phone to you not saying much of anything but
Feeling connected through the silence
One of us should go to sleep but we just kept listening
Kept listening
This call is not like those
the silence is deafening
Every second I'm waiting for the inevitable statement

A thousand miles away
Who's to blame
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same

A thousand miles away
From here to you
Doesn't feel as close as I'd like it to
A thousand miles away
Who's to blame
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same
We are distant from each other just the same
