[Verse 1]

There are miles between us

Time between us

There is something between us

D C

I may be a fool to dream of you

But, God, it feels so good to dream at all

Something short and sweet

There's always a light over my head for you

I am waiting, I am waiting

Time will always try to kill me

[Chorus]

There are mountains between us

There is time between us

Oh, ain't there something between us?

Something short and sweet

[Verse 2]

I don't care if I should

Do you wanna hurt me?

'Cause I've been hurtin' all alone

It didn't kill me, no

But it wasn't no fun

Come and get you some

Just the beginning

I only want the beginning

We'll give each other all of our best

And then, time can do what it wants with it

[Chorus]

There are mountains between us

There is time between us

Oh, ain't there something between us?

Something short and sweet

[Verse 3]

So, why can't I wait?

Why can't I wait?

Why can't I think?

Why can't I wake without you always appearing?

Oh,, I better not wait too long

'Cause time is gonna kill it

Time is gonna kill it
