Across The Sea

Why are you
So far away from me?
I need help
And you're way across the sea

I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
You've got my song

They don't make
Stationery like this
Where I'm from
So fragile, so refined
So I smear (So I smear)
And I lick (And I lick)
Your envelope ends fall to little pieces over time
.............(Your envelope ends fall to over time)

I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
And curse myself for bein' across the sea

Why are you
So far away from me?
I need help
And you're way across the sea

I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
You've got my song

At ten, I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if I did
You see, Mom? I'm a good little boy
It's all your fault, Momma, It's all your fault!(It's all your fault!)

God damn this business is really lame
I've gotta live on an island to find the truth
So you send (So you send)
Your love (Your love)
From all around the world
(From all around)

As if I could live on
(The world, now)

Words are dreams
And a million screams
Of how I need a hand
In mine to feel

Why are you
So far away from me?
Why are you
So far away from me?

I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong

I've got your letter
You've got my song
I've got your letter
(I've got your letter)
You've got my song
