about

This song is about a long distance relationship I was in and how tough those things can be. Although this song ends on an optimistic note, the next song on this compilation is about how it ended.

lyrics

Roll my head up in your arms
Will you tell me what you see?
With our love, you're separated from me
I wanna know the way you'll be
Without me, my head's on backwards

Tell me how you're going to fake it
Without all the things you've learned
In your mind, it's in your mind
You're just too far away
I know it now
How I'm going to face the strain
Without your sympathy
I know it now

I used to wake up in the morning
I could watch you on t.v.
I used to lay you in my bed
Put you right next to me
I know it now
That it's gonna get so hard after tomorrow
I know it now

I need the time with you in mind
A simple need I have to feed
I wanna go, I feel so low
With you tonight, it's out of sight
You're gonna stay too far away
Alone with you for one and two
So let it be a thousand times tonight

But I feel hopeful that we'll make it
Through the thick and through the thin
I know we'll do all right this time
We'll shoot it right down the line
I know it now
How we're going to face the strain
We'll do ok you will see
I know it now
