The Spice Of Life

Something has come between me and the world that I knew
What I thought would last is falling apart in the face of something newHow can I explain that I had no choice
The sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voiceAnd I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say
And she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anywayHow can I write a letter, the post is so slow
And if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to knowI can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone
How can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phoneYou say that things will get better, but she would hate me if I let her
And she reads so much in every word that I sayI thought that being apart would just bring us some variety
But after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a
Different way from meAnd I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame
It's just her, it's just me and everything that is just not the sameSometimes I would turn back the clock, recapture all that we've lost
But I couldn't give up all that we have today
