lyrics

sitting dormant
on the west end line
i was closer
than i've ever been
do you question
why you waste your time
living alone

what's the purpose
for this distant curse
up at midnight
thinking in reverse
is it worth it
all this wasted time
i can't get back
that i can't get back

so we're hiding out tonight
and i wonder what you're thinking
because you feel so far away
don't know how to make it right
