Alice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You put your hair back in that magic black elastic I'm powerless to ponytails who used to do gymnastics and I I know you know you wanna dance When I watch you smile and try to mask it And stir your whisky with the plastic [Pre-Chorus] You're pitcher perfect in this light beer Nevermind the twenty-hour flight here [Chorus] Alice, Alice All my best come-ons But come on You are too far away [Verse 2 But everything is better through a, a camera in Canberra Skype is now my lifeline and, and email is manna and if Airfare weren't so unfair I would be in Sydney instantly And we'd be Bondi bound [Pre-Chorus] You have monopolized cute But talk about a trivial pursuit [Chorus] Alice, Alice All my best come-ons But come on You are too far away [Bridge] Too far away to keep 'Cause every time I wake up, you're about to go to sleep And you say, "G'day, this is Alice, leave a message at the beep" Only missing you is pointless when you're always out of reach Besides there's nothing left to say to you now I just have to hold you And now we are just as natural a disaster as I told you So evacuate my heart, 'cause inside is total chaos And I lose myself when people say your name and I stay lost Stay lost for a good three days A really good three days [Instrumental break] [Outro] Maybe one day we'll find a way Find a way, find a way, find a way Maybe one, maybe, maybe one day we'll find But day for me is night for you But I'll still say goodnight to you
