Lyrics
You hear that
You perceive a sound
There's a song to make you feel alright
There's a song that brings comfort
It's calling me, and calling you
The song beckons both you and me
So won't you sing all afternoon
Let's sing without restraint throughout the afternoon
Loud and carelessly
Loudly and without concern
You hear that
You sense
There's a song to fill the empty space
There's a song to fill the void
It'll take you back to better times
It transports you to happier times
A summer track you'll recognize
A familiar summer track
That brightens up your day
That brightens your day
You told me, told me in the morning when you woke up from a daze
You shared with me in the morning after awakening from a daze
That lately, lately you've been hiding that you choke up
Lately, you've been concealing your emotional struggle
'Cause everyone you love is far away
Because everyone you love is physically distant
Don't want to be far away
Desire to avoid being distant
Don't want to be far away no more
Not wanting to be far away anymore
Far away
Emphasis on being far away
Don't want to be far away
Expressing the wish not to be distant
Don't want to be far away no more
Reiteration of not wanting to be far away
You feel that
You sense again
There's a weight that can't escape the room
There's a burdensome feeling inescapable
It's underneath the skin and bones
It resides beneath the surface of skin and bones
It settles deep and sets like stone
It settles deeply and becomes unyielding
With every restless sleep
With each troubled sleep
You told me, told me in the morning when you woke up from a daze
You conveyed to me after waking from a daze
That lately, lately you've been hiding that you choke up
Recently, you've been hiding your emotional distress
When everybody goes...
When everyone departs
Home is, home is where you'd like to see the sunset, from a roof
Home is where you prefer to witness the sunset, from a roof
Not roaming, 'cause Rome is even lonely in a new bed
Not wandering, as even Rome feels lonely in a new bed
When everyone you love is
When all your loved ones are
Holding, barely holding on when they wake up from a daze
Hanging on, barely, when they emerge from a daze
And maybe, maybe they've been hiding that they choke up
Perhaps, they've been concealing their emotional struggles
'Cause everyone they love is far away
Because everyone they love is physically distant
Don't want to be far away
Desire to avoid being far away
Don't want to be far away no more
Not wanting to be far away anymore
Far away
Emphasis on being far away
Don't want to be far away
Expressing the wish not to be distant
Don't want to be far away no more
Reiteration of not wanting to be far away
