Lyrics
you went so far away
2000 miles too far
when will you come back our way?
it kills to know we're apart
we know it's not fair; we know it's not right
we can't help it, we're so helpless (can't help it)
why can't you come back home? (we're helpless w/out you )
we fake it, but we can't take it (can't pretend)
we're fragile & so alone (this smile anymore)
afraid we'll lose our hearts to california (lost you to the west coast)
she stole you away, had nothing to say, it's over, it's over
writing on blank pages with this one track mind
constantly thinking about you all the time
& the distance the distance isn't helping much
getting frustrated, so frustrated, we're losing touch
in need of your loving smile, we need you here
we can't help it, we're so helpless (can't help it)
why can't you come back home? (we're helpless w/out you )
we fake it, but we can't take it (can't pretend)
we're fragile & so alone (this smile anymore)
afraid we'll lose our hearts to california (lost you to the west coast)
her selfish stars have taken over, taken over you
bleeding words through your pen (you showed me the steps)
i need you right here, right now (you taught me how)
hush, my darling, i'll sing you to sleep (just listen carefully)
you're the poem in me (& don't make a sound)
can't stand to be apart (trusted you from the start)
you are my love, you are my heart (my confidant, my confidant)
