Preoccupied

Take a taxi with me

Up to 46th street

Neon lights won't let us sleep

Sit on man made boulders

Watch the night patrollers

Spill your history onto me

If I stumble home and lie with you

Hallucinate you on the night tube

Can I stumble home, a phone call will do?

I've not been the same since I saw you

And I'm constantly preoccupied

I look at flights to pass the time

It's taken over me

And I can't leave this be

Those neon lights have faded

Hope you don't feel jaded

On this end of lonely street

Another day while time seeps

Droning on endlessly

Cannot face the 5 hour leap

If I stumble home and lie with you

Hallucinate you on the night tube

Can I stumble home, a phone call will do?

I've not been the same since I saw you

And I'm constantly preoccupied

I look at flights to pass the time

It's taken over me

And I can't leave this be

I'm constantly preoccupied

By the fantasies I once denied

You're too far from me

And I can't leave this be

Oh oh oh

I'm constantly preoccupied

Hoping you won't pass me by

It's taken over me

And I can't leave this be

I'm constantly preoccupied

By the fantasies in my mind

And they won't leave me be

And you're too far from me

For how long now

Will I spend my time

On something so absurd?

You know I won't forget a word

For how long now

Will I waste my nights

Waiting on your calls?

I'm constantly preoccupied
