Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chalk tablet towers
Like drawing shadows
Chemical distractions
You are not with me
I departed in the spring
To a distant star
But I could not get back
I had gone too far
[Verse 2]
Oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 3]
I wanna get drunk
I wanna get stoned
I wanna give up
I wanna go home
[Verse 4]
Watching rockets take off
From a parting sea
How will I ever touch you
If you are not with me? (Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Out here) There's only silence
(Out here) No form of contact
(Out here) I am dreaming
Looking into darkness (Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Verse 5]
I won't be back till the end of summer
Will you still be there?
I won't give up on you darling
Just tell me that you care
I don't need no trophies
No cell with a view
There's nothing I wouldn't give
One minute with you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 6]
You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
