Closer than we are

Trying to catch christmas eve with a 737
Via st. louis with on a threadbare heart
I'm trying hard to believe in ghosts and heaven
And wheels that turn with a broken part

Stealing kisses over the phone
Making wishes ona bottle of cotes du rhone
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them

Lets be closer than we are
To jupiter or spain
There are 2 seats at the bar
For mr and mrs my last name
We are simpler than the stars
Then are eyes can not contain
Lets be closer than we are

Trying to build galaxies
Out of winks and shivers
That you give me when you call my name
Trying to write symphonies
With a hand that quivers
In the storm of your elusive rain

Leaving lovers on their own
Crawling through burning cities to get back home
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them

Lets be closer than we are
To jupiter or spain
There are 2 seats at the bar
For mr and mrs my last name
We are simpler than the stars
Then are eyes can not contain
Lets be closer than we are

Lets be all that will remain

Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
Lets be closer than we are
To jupiter or spain
There are 2 seats at the bar
For mr and mrs my last name
We are simpler than the stars
Then are eyes can not contain
Lets be closer than we are

Lets be all that will remain
Lets be closer than we are
