across the sea

day, alex

there's a girl

across the sea

and though i'm happy being loved

it doesn't feel like love to me. never feels like love to me. there's a girl

next to me

and she's happy being lovely

and it's not enough for me. it's not enough for me. you're out of mind

i'm out of time

i only want what i can't see. and i will wait for her to run to me. once a boy

now a man

and even though i've grown the best i could

it's still the best i can. i'm loving you the best i can. and the girl

who's 'cross the sea

and travelled halfway 'round the world

to be the perfect girl for me

in all the ways you used to be. you're out of mind

i'm out of time

i only want what i can't see. and everything about her is new to me. now i see everything we do as the routine. familiarity breeds awful things in me. i was out of my mind

and now i'll make time

to be the man that i should be

and i was blind to think that you were right for me. and i was blind to think it lay across the sea.
