Remember when you spoke to me about running away,
To some old distant land; we could scarcely understand what you were trying to say,
Then you took my hand as if to say, we'd no more need for words,
But where are they now? They make no difference to us now.
Then asking me if I'd remember us standing on the pier,
When I was an old man; I could scarcely understand.
I cannot tell you things I don't understand,
Can you tell me quick, tell me please, are you close to me?
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Are you really close to me, or is all we have proximity?
I tried to find you in the crowd,
I ran and ran and when I finally caught up,
And you were knocked down, in the street,
I thought that you were dead, I thought you were gone.
But when I awoke, and it was all a dream,
We were only seventeen, back in your bed with your parents gone,
The light was off, you told me to leave it on.
And then I realised it was just another dream,
Show me something that's right, show me something that's real, show me something I can feel,
I struggled and struggled til I finally came to, caught in the net of our drug,
Asleep in our dream, I never wanted to wake up.
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Are you really close to me, or is all we have proximity?
When I said what have you done for me lately,
I knew when I said it, that we would regret it,
But let's not forget it, let's not forget it now.
When we danced it was almost perfect,
When we laughed, I was broken.
Moving in the right direction,
I think that I know the way.
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Were you really close to me, or is all we had proximity?
