| Why did they ask us the same question five times
|
| Why did they wake us in the middle of the night
|
| Why did they need me to carry them around
|
| They seem so helpless sometimes
|
| But thanks to you
|
| I have someone I can talk to
|
| Thanks to you
|
| There’s someone who understands
|
| They had no clue
|
| Told us again and again
|
| We lacked point of view
|
| I think they are aware of it now
|
| It’s not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow
|
| It’s the height of the sun
|
| It’s the height of the sun
|
| It’s not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow
|
| It’s the clouds above, it’s the clouds
|
| Let’s get away, let’s get away
|
| (We can go wherever we want)
|
| Let’s get away
|
| Drink some tea and try to calm down
|
| Their words aren’t honest, no doubt
|
| They’ve been pouring down the Malibu
|
| Let’s get away
|
| Now they’re shouting out it’s our fault
|
| And I’m sure they never will know
|
| How big the gap they dig becomes
|
| It’s not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow
|
| It’s the height of the sun, it’s the height of the
|
| It’s not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow
|
| It’s the clouds above, it’s the clouds
|
| I’m not there very often, it’s you who deals with it all
|
| So get a shoulder to cry on
|
| If not just give me a call
|
| I hope they keep all this promise, the hope is often found short
|
| Though I am certain I love them
|
| I am certain when I say
|
| Let’s get away
|
| (We can go wherever we want)
|
| Let’s get away
|
| (We can talk tomorrow, not now)
|
| Let’s get away
|
| Drink some tea and try to calm down
|
| Their words aren’t honest, no doubt
|
| They’ve been pouring down the Malibu
|
| Let’s get away
|
| Now they’re shouting out it’s our fault
|
| And I’m sure they never will know
|
| How big the gap they dig becomes
|
| We can go wherever we want
|
| We can talk tomorrow, not now
|
| We can go wherever we want
|
| We can talk tomorrow, not now |
