Alice

You put your hair back in that magic black elastic I’m powerless to ponytails who used to do gymnastics and I Know you know you wanna dance When I watch you smile and try to mask it And stir your whisky with the plastic You’re pitcher perfect in this light beer Nevermind the twenty-hour flight here Alice, Alice All my best come ons But come on You are too far away But everything is better through a camera in Canberra Skype is now my lifeline and email is manna and if Airfare weren’t so unfair I would be in Sydney instantly And we’d be Bondai bound You have monopolized cute But talk about a trivial pursuit… [Hook] Too far away to keep Cause every time I wake up you’re about to go to sleep And you say “g’day this is Alice leave a message at the beep” Only missing you is pointless when you’re always out of reach Besides there’s nothing left to say to you now I just have to hold you And now we are just as natural a disaster as I told you So evacuate my heart ’cause inside is total chaos And I lose myself when people say your name and I stay lost for a good three days A really good three days Maybe one day we’ll find a way Maybe one day we’ll find… But day for me is night for you But I’ll still say goodnight to you
