Distance makes the heart grow fonder
It seems like years since I last could see your face
I go outside to retrieve your letter
And nothing's there...

In my dreams you are always near me
They're like a drug and I hate to watch them end
When I wake up I face the real world
And you're not there...

Chorus:
Your lack of correspondence
is filling me with fear
I'm anxiously awaiting
your letter to come here
Why don't you come here?

Every day I miss you stronger
Days are weeks and the weeks drag on like years
Why can't time move a little faster?
It doesn't care...

Why is patience still a virtue?
Just how far can I bend until I break?
Every minute I long to see you
Do you still care???

(Chorus)

I'm caught in an hourglass spinning downward
Just waiting for my fall
I find it hard to breathe,
the sand gets into my eyes
Once I hit the bottom
the hourglass turns over
And then I'm on the cycle again
When will it ever end?

(Chorus)
