Trying to catch christmas eve with a 737 
Via st. louis with 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 ona bottle of cotes du rhone 
Some of these days are longer than 
The lonely distance that's between them 

Lets be closer than we are 
To jupiter or spain 
There are 2 seats at the bar 
For mr and mrs my last name 
We are simpler than the stars 
Then are eyes can not contain 
Lets 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 

Lets be closer than we are 
To jupiter or spain 
There are 2 seats at the bar 
For mr and mrs my last name 
We are simpler than the stars 
Then are eyes can not contain 
Lets be closer than we are 

Lets be all that will remain 

Some of these days are longer than 
The lonely distance that's between them 
Lets be closer than we are 
To jupiter or spain 
There are 2 seats at the bar 
For mr and mrs my last name 
We are simpler than the stars 
Then are eyes can not contain 
Lets be closer than we are 

Lets be all that will remain 
Lets be closer than we are
