lyrics

Why oh why oh why
Why oh why oh why

I long ago accepted that I'd never leave this town
Stuck halfway between here and there
And always being let down

Downstairs
The Television plays a re-run of your favourite show
You're halfway around the world
Son, you'd never know

Why oh why oh why
Why oh why oh why

Sometimes I wonder if you even exist
Did I fabricate you from a long-forgotten tryst
It seems more possible with every passing day

And the feeling that you get
That you get further and further away

Why oh why oh why
Why oh why oh why

I imagine you're a scientist
An aerospace star
Maybe one day your rocket research will take us all to Mars

You are missing me
From high on the Pyrenees
Staring down like you're on past pont neuf to the seas

You feel an emptiness
Wrapped in sweet success
I wish I could get just one night's rest
