Long Range, Deranged

Close enough to touch, Blink your eyes, All that could change
Love, affection, and joy. Were never meant to work at such long range

Phone sitting on the table, laying still. No text. No calls
A torturing pain, overwhelms my soul, whenever this silence falls

Patient? No. Missing you? Yes. You have never escaped my mind
So I stare at this soundless phone, but bitter silence is all I'll find

Saunter through dark, through cold. For just a chance to hear your voice
For just a minute. No... a second would do! With even less I would rejoice

A heart should never be lonely, yours and mine were meant to share
But sharing becomes such a trial, when I'm here. And you are there

Desperate for affirmation, for just a sign you think of me...
Such a simple thing's more than enough, forever fine is what i'll be

Pretty baby... don't you know? With you far away, all I feel... alone
My heart feels pain so far away from its home, waiting for your love, waiting for this phone
