In a hushed tone
Over the phone
You tell me that you miss me
Already halls are empty
Without me
And now the train is rolling to carry me away
To obligation and joyless restraint
I'm wearing you on my sleeve
Holding on to memories
I miss you too
I can't sleep
I can't sleep
Close the distance
We will do a slow dance
Of photographs and whispers
The numbness in our fingers
Won't leave
But your sweater's getting heavier and tugging at my back
I am casting off my caution, I am slipping through the cracks
You can look but you can't touch
Will it ever be enough?
Will we
finally
close the
gap?
And when you're near
You are farther away
You only know me
When I'm pressed against a screen
I am still waiting
And growing impatient
When will you let me in?
