Alternative up-beat pop song about how difficult long-distance relationships can be.

lyrics

lyrics by Lizanne Hennessey

I call you up and make believe it doesn't hurt so much
When all I wanna do is say how much I miss your touch
I get online so we can chat at night on msn
I read your words and think: Who am I kiddin'?

When I wake up you see the moon appearing in the sky
I go to bed and you'll be watching the sun rise
I take a picture of the house we could be living in
I close my eyes and think: Who am I kiddin'

How can I get you to stay,
when you're thousands of miles away?
I'm gonna lock you up, and throw the key away.
How can I get you to stay

My friends all say I should find someone else who lives nearby,
instead of waiting for the perfect life, the perfect guy.
You tell me that I won't have to wait too much longer now,
we'll be together, but I don't know how.

I'm having trouble concentrating, I'm not sleeping well,
I get the feeling you aren't either, as far as I can tell.
You say a week but I can't wait another day from now,
we'll be together but I don't know...

How can I get you to stay
When you're thousands of miles away
I'm gonna lock you up, and throw the key away
How can I get you to stay
