Moving to the east side where it's hotter, babe

Hoping that you find yourself some better days

Call me when you like
Am G
Tell me of your night

Ch-ch-changing with the times and every passing day

Waging a new war inside this open vein

Drag me through this light
Am G
Save me from this fight

I needed your love

Not this distance between us

Away all the good old days

Then throw our needs to the back of our minds again

Silence, the silence is killing me softly

Breaking my mind with ease

Called you all the time

Save me from bored nights

Hated, hated the way you lived

Underneath this sky
Am G
I see a trace of you tonight

I needed your love

Not this distance between us

Feeling different but I don't wanna take

To look for your better days

If time stood dead this week, could we see it through to another night

Will we fight for this runaway now when my world could die

I did not build up this for it to make you cry
[Refrão]
