I try to talk to you   And can't get past the weather   The friend I thought I knew   Found somethin' somewhere better   So I'm hangin' on your line   Thought we could speak together   Don't know what it is with you   You seem gone forever      I'm spending all my time   Driving 'round, faking clever   With a girl who seem alright   And another one who's better   I don't know if I lied   When I said we're not together   But I tried to talk to you   And somehow you seem gone...      I know what could've been   Try not to think about it   Found it hard to live with this   Longed to live without it   My dreams have caught me out   I find myself surrounded   By the odds of our own ends   Enough said about it      I'm spending all my time   Driving 'round, faking clever   With a girl who seem alright   And another one who's better   I don't know if I lied   When I said we're not together   But I tried to talk to you   And somehow you seem gone...      I've given up some things   I guess that doesn't matter   Started other things   I guess that doesn't matter   I finally wrote your song   Another unsent letter   In a pile addressed to you   Care of something somewhere better      I'm spending all my time   Driving 'round, faking clever   With a girl who seem alright   And another one who's better   I don't know if I lied   When I said we're not together   But I tried to talk to you   And somehow you seem gone...      I'm spending all my time   Driving 'round, faking clever   With a girl who seem alright   And another one who's better   I don't know if I lied   When I said that I'm together   But I tried to talk to you   And somehow you seem gone forever   Yeah, I tried to talk to you   And somehow you seem gone forever   Yeah, I tried to talk to you   Somehow you seem gone...
