I've heard it before
I'll let you tell it again
Just to hear the sound of your voice
Over this cold, cold wire

So hold the phone
Where I wish I could get
Hold it right up to your cheek
And that's as close as I'll be

So lie down for the night
And wait for morning light

When all you ever want
Will find its way to you through the morning fog
And all I ever was
Will disappear in the fire of the sun

I've seen it before
I don't need you
I can watch it all unfold if I like
Here in my cold, cold mind

Like it or not
The sun still shines at night
When you're closing your eyes
It's on the other side

So trust the setting sun
And wait for dawn to come

When all you ever want
Will find its way to you through the morning fog
And all I ever was
Will disappear in the fire of the sun

Just like I never was
Just like I never was permanent
