Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
I lay my heart on you
and you can show the way.
I give my everlasting love
until my dying day.
Take this lonely soul,
the water or the wine,
a chance to make you mine.
I lay my body on the line.
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
My life was emptiness
until you came along.
I nearly fell apart,
you took my heart and made me strong.
And I need all of you
to get me through the night.
A chance to see the light.
I lay my body on the line.
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
Why ain’t we living together,
living together instead of being alone?
Why ain’t we living,
living together instead of being so, so far apart?…
