Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't
Maybe he's just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not

Maybe I whisper I love you
Maybe the whisper is all that I've got

Could this be heaven? Could this be hell?
Lying asleep with a stranger
The stranger's the man that I once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still

Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over, and over, and over, and

Once there was loving then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights

Over, and over, and over
Now the silence in this silent night, aww

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over, and over, and over, and

Now won't you listen please?
Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over, and over, and over, and

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over, and over, and over, and

Communication
