Oceans apart, day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

 

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever?

 

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

 

I took for granted, all the times

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

 

Oh, can't you see it, baby?

You've got me going crazy

 

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

 

I wonder how we can survive

This romance

But in the end, if I'm with you

I'll take the chance

 

Oh, can't you see it, baby?

You've got me going crazy

 

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

Waiting for you.
