Homefires - Venerea

Travelling ‘round in circles on another continent

Every night another foggy version of how our story went

A life sustained by phone wires and blinking satellites

Somehow I will make it through the night

Sometimes when the fog gets bad, a signal through the smoke

Try to break the tension with another sorry excuse for a joke

Before another line has vanished in the air

Star 69 me if you dare

An overseas call

Calling out across a world that’s turning

Keep the homefires burning

Calling out across a world that’s turning

Keep the homefires burning

These days every time we hang out we hardly even talk

But you know I’m right there by the phone

Every time you take a walk

Can’t wait, I call you up, but the line’s not free

I hang up on your OGM;

it’s too outgoing for me

I’d SMS an SOS, but then you’d see

My overseas call
