ahh, this song is about being, well 100 miles away from someone and wishing you were with them, and allowing a relationship to fall apart when you don't want it to.

Lyrics
I could ask you what's been going on
Guess the story's all been told
I could guess at what your thinking
But I'd get it wrong as you know
Mocking smile as you walk away
and I'm just two cigarettes from home
and I could ask you what i'm doing wrong
But I'm 100 miles and a phone call
away from you
Oo its hard, oo its hard
when you're gone, when you're gone
Catch myself when I'm coming home
and its your smile at the door
compromised by your alibis
and its just a crooked face
behind a mask
and I could ask you what I'm doing wrong
but i'm 100 miles and a phone call
away from you
oo its hard, oo its hard
when you're gone, when you're gone
oo its hard, oo its hard
when you're gone, when you're gone
