Lyrics
Well I'm sad but I'm not empty 'Cause today it's on the cards that I'm on the move It's alright 'cause when I'm leaving My mind draws me a picture to keep of you Because I can, get a little lonely once in a while Because I can, I've become a victim of your smile But you know I can make it back from all those miles I'm sore from the crash landing But at least I made it back from my trip to the moon And it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing The thrill of anticipation gets me through I've gotta get to you Because I can, get a little lonely once in a while Because I can, I've become a victim of your smile Though it hurts sometimes remember That the beauty lies in everything you do And it's alright, I know you don't believe in love But I believe in you Oh yes I do Yes I do It's alright 'cause when I'm spacing My mind draws in, and reaches out to you Though it hurts sometimes remember That the beauty lies in everything you do And it's alright, I know you don't believe in love But I believe in you Oh yes I do Yes I do Oh yes I do Yes I do Yes I do
