This is a tender song about a long distance relationship - and both people realize that it's slowly falling apart.
Lyrics
How can it be
That we are so alone?
You holding me
When you hold the phone...
Oh... Oh...
You're so far away,
Your voice sounds oh so near
I whisper out your name,
But you don't seem to hear
Oh... Oh...
Chorus
The Way Of The World Are Strange
People, they seem to change day-to-day
I hope our love will last in time
For now, I know you're mine, anyway...
I reach out to you
But all that's ever there
Is a bag of empty dreams
And a distant stare
Oh... Oh...
What can be the answer
To a question that's unknown?
Me holding you
When I hold the phone
Oh... Oh...
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
