Am I lonely?

Have I been waiting too long?

The One and Only

How have you been? been, been...

Heaven knows he

Kept the only words he knew how to write:

"Can't get you out my mind..."

& if the tears start running

They won't stop me hunting

For the creatures in the night...

'Cause if I can't get home

I'll waste here alone

With nothing else left to find

There's a hundred thousand days, & there's two of us...

I don't wanna be the only one who'll be using them

How we could have everything just for once, for once...

There's a hundred, thousand, couple million crowding

I just wanna be around...

All your love & guidance

I can't even hide it

Tell me if you hear me now...

You can call me

Any time that you want

& I'll be

At your door when the Sun's arrived

Hoping to make it right

I'll hide... you seek

Staying up nights, getting no sleep

Are you hiding from memories, love?

You're such a slowpoke

I wanna get close

You wanna stay high?

I'll make the wind blow you

Through a million stars & a nebula

I tried a million times 'fore you gave it up

& I don't blow smoke

Where did my thoughts go?

Remember:

No pride will make the peace grow

Into a brilliant spark

I know you're never too far

There's a hundred thousand days, & there's two of us...

I don't wanna be the only one who'll be using them

How we could have everything just for once, for once...

There's a hundred, thousand, couple million crowding

I just wanna be around...

All your love & guidance

I can't even hide it

Tell me if you hear me now...

You can call me

Any time that you want

& I'll be

At your door when the Sun's arrived

Hoping to make it right
