Trying to catch Christmas eve with a 737
Via St. Louis with on a threadbare heart
I'm trying hard to believe in ghosts and heaven
And wheels that turn with a broken part

Stealing kisses over the phone
Making wishes on a bottle of Côtes du Rhône
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them

Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are 2 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

Try to build galaxies
Out of winks and shivers that you give me when you call my name
Try to write symphonies
With a hand that quivers in the storm of your elusive rain

Leaving lovers on their own
Crawling through burning cities to get back home
Some of these days are longer than
The lonely distance that's between them

Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are 2 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

Let's be closer than we are to Jupiter or Spain
There are 2 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
