Trying to catch Christmas Eve with a 737
Via St. Louis on a threadbare heart
I'm trying hard to believe in ghosts and heaven
And wheels that turn with a broken part
Stealing kisses over the phone
Making wishes on a bottle of Côtes du Rhône
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar for mister and missus my-last-name
We are simpler than the stars that our eyes cannot contain
Let's be closer than we are
Trying to build galaxies out of winks and shivers
That you give me when you call my name
Trying to write symphonies with a hand that quivers
In the storm of your elusive rain
Leaving lovers on their own
Crawling through burning cities to get back home
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar for mister and missus my-last-name
We are simpler than the stars that our eyes cannot contain
Let's be closer than we are
Let's be all that will remain
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar for mister and missus my-last-name
We are simpler than the stars that our eyes cannot contain
So let's be closer than we are
Let's be all that will remain
Let's be closer than we are
Via St. Louis on a threadbare heart
I'm trying hard to believe in ghosts and heaven
And wheels that turn with a broken part
Stealing kisses over the phone
