The Shortest Line -

The static crackles in my ear

Can you hear me?

The line’s gone dead, I …

I’ll never know how insincere

You feel about me

The lights flash red

Connection’s lost

Our lines are crossed

I think I’m losing you

I don’t know what you want

So I’ll tell you how I think it should be

We’ll go back to the start

And we’ll draw the shortest line from you to me

The bells are ringing in my head

And we can stop them

By holding on to

All the promises we’ve made

I’ve not forgotten

They ring so true

Now I can hear

The lines are clear

I think I’m getting through

I don’t know what you want

So I’ll tell you how I think it should be

We’ll go back to the start

And we’ll draw the shortest line from you to me

You and me, you to me

Tell me what you want from me

I don’t know what you want

So I’ll tell you how I think it should be

We’ll go back to the start

And we’ll draw the shortest line

And we’ll draw the shortest line, from you to me
