Time Apart

(You'd better close your eyes, my child, for a moment, in order to be better in tune with the infinite.)

I got a feeling of pain
Because I knew it would suck
When your phone call came
And you said, "I've gotta talk to you
I've thought it through
I'm leaving you alone and it's the hardest thing I've had to do

I wish you well and thanks for being patient, baby
I know you want a better explanation, maybe
Let's call it a day
'Cause I'm running out of things I can say anyway."

There's no debating, baby,
This has been hard
It makes us stronger, maybe,
This time apart
This time apart

What's supposed to be done,
What am I supposed to do
When you want your space
And I just want to be close to you?
My toast to you
Is leaving you alone when it's the hardest thing I've had to do

This is hell,
But I'm sure it will be healthy
We'll be better in the end
You'll have time to think about what you want
We'll see
But I have so much faith that what you want is me

There's no debating, baby,
This has been hard
It makes us stronger, maybe,
This time apart

No better way to see that I'm a retard
Than taking yourself away
So we can see what we've been missing

Nothing, nothing
Nothing has meaning at all
Everything, everything
Is so much better with you involved

There's no debating, baby,
This has been hard
It makes us stronger, maybe,
This time apart

No better way to see that I'm a retard
Than taking yourself away
So we can see what we've been missing

There's no debating, baby,
This has been hard
It makes us stronger, maybe,
This time apart

No better way to see that I'm a retard
Than taking yourself away
So we can see what we've been missing

This time apart
