A Little Less Gone

IF I WAS A PILOT
I'D FLY AWAY TO ANYWHERE YOU ARE
I'D GO FROM TOWN TO TOWN, WE'D NEVER BE APART
BUT I'M NOT
SO I KEEP HOPING I CAN FLY INTO YOUR ARMS
AND YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE LESS GONE

IF I WAS A BUILDER
I'D MAKE A BRIDGE AND MEET YOU AT THE END
AND ANYWHERE YOU WENT, I'D BUILD THAT BRIDGE AGAIN
BUT I'M NOT
I'VE TRIED BUILDING HAPPY ENDINGS FOR SO LONG
AND YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE LESS GONE
YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE LESS GONE

I CAN'T FLY AND I CAN'T BUILD BUT I CAN DREAM
AND THAT'S THE WAY THAT I CAN KEEP YOU CLOSE TO ME
SO I KEEP WAITING, WAITING, WAITING
FOR THESE DREAMS TO TAKE ME TO YOU


IF I WAS A MYSTIC
I'D CLOSE MY EYES AND LOOK INTO YOUR MIND
AND WITH MY MAGIC POWERS I'D FIND YOU EVERY TIME
BUT I'M NOT
STILL I CAN WISH YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG
AND YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE LESS GONE
