I saw the news this morning

And saw your face across the screen

And as I poured my coffee,

I picked up a magazine

Chorus:

But as I turned the page

And looked inside

There you were again (there you were)

Oh these lonely times

They never seem to end

You're too far

I know I should be there where you are



Today I did some shopping

Just had to clear my mind again

I can't stop thinkin' bout you

I hopped into a taxi

In a moment I was home

Home again



Chorus:

But as I turned the key

And slept inside

My heart could not pretend (could not pretend)

Oh these lonely times

They never seem to end

You're too far

I know I should be there where you are



Tossing and turning in my sleep

I can't take being without you

I'm gonna catch the next plane out

I got to get to where you are

No matter how near or far

I got to get there where you are

I know



Chorus:

But as I turned the key

And slept inside

My heart could not pretend (could not pretend)

Oh these lonely times

They never seem to end

You're too far

I know I should be there where you are

I wanna be where you are

I need to be where you are

I wanna be I wanna be baby

You know I need to be

I know I should be there where you are
