I miss your face
A thought I find perplexing
Such distance should make no difference
When we’re so far apart
I once knew a way
But that road’s been gone for ages
And when I went to show you
It was much too late to start
And when I wander down your street
Feeling for your doorbell in the dark
I wonder if you’ll open up and let me in
Or tell me I shouldn’t have walked so far
We are ideal
We only exist in theory
We know that if this were real
We’d destroy it much too easily
Such selfishness
Can only come with practice
I’ve trained for years
And soon will be the heavyweight champ
Don’t say you disagree
The secrets we’ve been keeping
Will eat us both alive
Just as soon as they get the chance
Pre-chorus
And when I see the morning light
Streaming through the blinds like some old friend
I sigh and wonder if I have the strength
To wake up and try to do this again
We are ideal
We only exist in theory
We know that if this were real
We’d destroy it much too easily
Sometimes I think you’re speaking
But I really can’t be sure
I’m willfully deaf to you
I’ve forgotten all the words
To desperate to be angry
To dumb to be afraid
We sleep inside this burning building
Hoping we’ll be saved
