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

I've got loads of pictures
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

I think about long distance rates
Instead of kissing you, babe
I'm a singer without a song
If I wait for you longer
My affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking, merely thinking
That this boat is sinking

I'm tired of postcards
Especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids
I'm tired of calling you, missing you, 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 instead
But I was just thinking and thinking, merely thinking

I'm tired of long distance rates
Instead of kissing you, babe
And time is running me still
If I wait for you longer
My affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking
Yeah I was just thinking
That I'm tired of calling you once a week
And thinking of long distance rates
Instead of kissing you, baby
Baby, I'm sinking, merely sinking
