you were far from me but i could   hear every word you spoke   same words over and over   what do we get for our trouble and pain?      we want someone to long for   we want them here   all we can strive for   we want it now   and when it's here   we don't know what to do next      you would keep an open mind   but even i had to laugh   you sell your story over and over   changing names of places and friends      as you stay put on your side   we don't say you're foolish or proud   lean on us to take you out   or push you wherever feels right      we want someone to long for   we want them here   all we can strive for   we want it now   and when it's here   we don't know what to do next
