CAPO 1
VERSE 1
Trying to catch Christmas Eve
With a seven-thirty-seven
Via St. Louis on a threadbare heart
Trying hard to believe
In ghosts and heaven
And wheels that turn with a broken part
PRE CHORUS
Stealing kisses over the phone
Making wishes on a bottle of cote d'rome
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
CHORUS
Let's be closer than we are
To Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar
For Mr. and Mrs. my last name
We are simpler than the stars
That our eyes cannot contain
Let's be closer than we are
VERSE 2
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
PRECHORUS
Leaving lovers on their own
Crawling through burning cities to get back home
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distnce that's between them
CHORUS
Let's be closer than we are
To Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar
For Mr. and Mrs. my last name
We are simpler than the stars
That our eyes cannot contain
Let's be closer than we are
Let's be all that will remain

Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them
CHORUS
Let's be closer than we are
To Jupiter or Spain
There are two seats at the bar
For Mr. and Mrs. my last name
We are simpler than the stars
That our eyes cannot contain
Let's be closer than we are
Let's be all that will remain
Let's be closer than we are
