thank you, nowhere

[ degrees of seperation ]

when i wake up
i see your sparkling eyes
staring back at me
and is it a surprise
that it's not enough
to see your smiling face
frozen into immortality
and i know it's not my place to
think about you
animate you in my mind and say
"i can't live without you"
metaphorically "by my side"
there's just something about you
that makes me wanna scream
and is it too much to ask
to see you in my dreams?

you give me butterflies
they twist my heart
and i know that it sounds crazy
'cause we're so far apart
i'd like to be with you
every night and day
but you're one degree of seperation
and a someday away
one degree of seperation
and a lifetime away.

and when i go out
your image follows me
disconnected daydreams
pose as memories
you're nothing but
a character in my eyes
i can't see past the web of mystery
that you've designed
but you talk like music
a sweet one-liner symphony
and it's so confusing
don't know what's gotten into me
and it's kind of confusing
when i think about it
but i can't hide it
can't deny it
guess i'll just admit

you steal my common sense
when i hear your voice
and i didn't want to feel this way
but you've left me no choice
i want to feel your touch
in the worst way
but you're one degree of seperation
and a someday away
one degree of seperation
and a lifetime away.
