You're watching the cars,   Movies and stars   They are your lifetime   Yet all that I am is   Half what we are   Maybe some other time      I'll get it right I'll get it right   Oh sweet voice on the phone    You sound so alone   'Cause you couldn't be wasted   Yet all that I ever was   To you I am   I'm less than a man      That slowly changes out of phase   And I don't know why it is   It's an ever-changing simple thing   That I miss   While watching TV   Take in what you say      So you're death is painless   When all that I ever was   Returns again   I'm all that I am   And I'll get it right   When I get it right   'Cause I'll get it right   When I get it right      But I'm slowly changing out of phase   And I don't know why it is   It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know   But don't know why it is   That I'm longing for   Your sweet embrace, which I miss
