I was just thinking
That I have been missing you for way too long
There's something inside this weary head
That wants us to love just instead
But I was just thinking, merely thinking

I've got loads of pictures, yeah
I've got the one of you in that dancing dress
But man I feel silly in that dim light
Just after doing you by the sight of my Kodak delights
I am sinking, merely sinking

Yeah, I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe
I'm a singer without a song
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking, merely thinking
But this boat is sinking

Yeah, I'm tired of postcards, especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids
I'm tired of calling you and missing you and dreaming that I've slept with you
Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you
Inside this weary head I just want us to love just instead
But I was just thinking and thinking, merely thinking

Yeah, I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe
And time is running me still
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking
I said that I, I was just thinking

That I'm tired of calling you once a week
And thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you
So baby I'm sinking, merely sinking
