Distance grows
Oh won't the time slow
It sets like a light snow
On the cars

When these lines
Feel like the end times
Dark as a red wine
From the bar

I just want to be where you are
Don't you feel that we'll never know
How to deal with being alone
Burning like a flame in the cold
I just want to be where you are

When you go
I'm at a payphone
Held in the warm glow
Of the park

Moonlit pain
Sirens and cold rain
Tears from the heartbreak
Running far

I just want to be where you are
Don't you feel that we'll never know
How to deal with being alone
Burning like a flame in the cold
I just want to be where you are
Don't you feel that we'll never know
How to deal with being alone
Burning like a flame in the cold
I just want to be where you are

I just want to be where you are
Heard it in a dream that she wrote me and said
I'm staring at the ocean from the room that we shared
We got to get back to Seattle by dark
I could tell you that I love you
But I just wanna be where you are
