Oceans apart


day after _____
And I slowly ___ insane


I hear your ____
on the line


But it doesn't stop the ____
If I see you next to ____
How can we say ____
Wherever you ___
Whatever you ___
I will be right here waiting for ___
Whatever it takes


Or how my heart ____
I will be right here waiting for you


I took for granted, all the times


That I thought would last somehow


I ____ the laughter,


I taste the ____
But I can't get near you ____
Oh, can't you see it baby


You've got me goin' ____


Wherever you ___
Whatever you ___
I will be right ___
waiting for you


Whatever it takes


Or how my heart ____
I will be right here waiting for you


I wonder how we can ____


This romance


But in the end if I'm with you


I'll take the chance


Oh, can't you see it ___
You've got me goin' ____
Wherever you ___
Whatever you ___
I will be right here waiting for you


Whatever it takes


Or how my heart ____


I will be right here waiting for you

Oceans apart
day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice
on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever?
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted,
all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter,
I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I' ll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
