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
