lyrics

BEING WITH YOU

Being with you is almost like being alone
I pretend you’re on the other line when I talk on the phone
Being with you is almost like
Never learning how to ride a bike
Being with you is almost like being alone

I feel as if I’m in a movie and I’m playing both parts
Playing in an English pub and I’m all out of darts
Being with you is almost like getting a bruise without the fight
Being with you is almost like being alone

Where do words go when I ask you
To some secret vault?
Do they just bounce off---bounce and get lost
Back into my fault?

Being with you is almost like being alone
Being with you is chicken without any bone
Being with you is almost like getting a punch without a spike
Being with you is almost like being alone.
