For such a quiet guy she said   you've got a lot to say.   you can close your eyes she said   but try to stay awake      50 miles away tonight   it doesn't seem that far   the world is not so big    since the invention of the car         and telephone lines    are just fine sometimes   What I need right now   is to see   those two sweet   brown eyes.      We'll take the freeway    down to where the asphalt meets the dirt   peel the layers back    until you finally reach the earth   hold you breath    and count the lights    until the tunnel ends.   we could drive out    to the lake and watch   the way the sunlight bends.      and telephone lines    are just fine sometimes   but I need right now   is to see   those two sweet   brown eyes.      Tact effects the way we act.   for fear of how we might sound foolish   we might sound foolish   we might be wrong   and this song is just a stupid attempt    to say holding her feels right      and telephone lines    are just fine sometimes   what i need right now    is to see   those two sweet   there so sweet   telephone lines   are just fine sometimes   what I need right now   is to see    those two sweet   brown eyes.
