the world is between us

The world is between us

You're hours away

When you're asleep I'm awake

And I don't stay up late

Oh I sent you a letter

I hope it arrives

Before the summer comes

And the longsome nights

I hate to be here

So far away

Can't wait to see you

Don't be late

But I wanna see the sun

The way you see it

I wanna sing the songs

Late in the evenings

The world is between us

You're hours away

I don't know what to say

I'll be here in the shade

I found a new place

To rest my eyes

With the sea on each side

To watch me cry

But I hate to be here

So far away

Can't wait to see you

Don't be late

But I wanna see the sun

The way you see it

I wanna sing the songs

Late in the evenings

But I wanna see the sun

The way you see it

I wanna sing the songs

Late in the evenings

And live with the feeling
