Next to you I feel distant,

Abstract, maybe vague.

You're so realistic “

A little old for your age.



Your honesty strips me,

Though it's you who's afraid.

Say you already miss me.

Well the rules have been laid.



I'm not in this for blue skies

Not long days in June

Cause we're here and it's wintertime,

I'm just trying to do right by you.



So your days have been painful

And riddled with tears.

That's all gonna change, you know;

As long as I'm here.



It's not as if I was an angel,

I wish I had wings.

I'd fly through life in limbo,

I'd be and see everything.



I hope you forgive me

When I've gone far away,

But as long as you kiss me that way, lady

It's not gonna be today.



CHORUS

La la la la la,

La la la la la la,

Listen lady

(Repeat x4)



You can see that I'm drifting.

Feel me floating away.

For fear of seeming cryptic

I don't think that's gonna change.



It's not like I'm impervious to your love, dear,

Get your emotions prepared.

It's natural to be nervous up here

When we're floating on air.



Did I mention “ you're charming

With your back turned to the breeze?

Your whole essence is calming.

I think you dig my extremes.



I can't love you for certain.

My mind's wild, and it's free;

But as long as it's worth it to you, lady,

Let's lay here in peace.



(CHORUS)
