lyrics

Days go by
When can we meet again - face to face?
Eye to eye
But how I really long for your embrace
If we try
To make it through the night right to the end
Will you still be my friend?

Things I miss
There's coffee and a chat - one to one
Summer bliss
With music in the park - in the sun
A stranger’s kiss
I'd love to see your face without a mask
That’s all I ask

We thought we knew all the words to the songs
We'd sung them before but it turns out we were wrong
Our voices were drowned by the howls of the mob
Were we really awake or were we sleeping on the job

Things we knew
Will never be the way they were before
For me and you
There's lessons to be learned we can’t ignore
All that's true
But many words were written all in haste
All such a waste

We thought we knew all the words to the songs
We'd sung them before but it turns out we were wrong
Our voices were drowned by the howls of the mob
Were we really awake or were we sleeping on the job

We thought we knew all the words to the songs
We'd sung them before but it turns out we were wrong
Our voices were drowned by the howls of the mob
Were we really awake or were we sleeping on the job
