[Verse 1: Michael]
Six weeks since I've been away
And now you're sayin' everything has changed
And I'm afraid that I might be losing you
And every night that we spend alone
It kills me thinking of you on your own
And I wish I was back home next to you
[Pre-Chorus: Michael & Calum]
Oh, every day, you feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say
[Chorus: All]
Are we wasting time talkin' on a broken line?
Tellin' you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up, even though it hurts so much
Every night, I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers
[Verse 2: Calum, Calum & Ashton]
Late night calls and another text
Is this as good as we're gonna get?
Another time zone taking me away from you
Living dreams and fluorescent lights
While you and I are runnin' out of time
But you know that I'll always wait for you
[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
Oh, every day, you feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say
[Chorus: All]
Are we wasting time talkin' on a broken line?
Tellin' you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up, even though it hurts so much
Every night, I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers
[Bridge: Luke]
On the phone, I can tell that you wanna move on
Through the tears, I can hear that I shouldn't have gone
Every day, it gets harder to stay away from you
[Breakdown: Luke]
So, tell me, are we wasting time talkin' on a broken line?
Tellin' you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
[Chorus: All, Ashton]
Wasting time (Wasting time) talkin' on a broken line? (Broken line)
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up (Won't give up), even though it hurts so much (Hurts so much)
Every night, I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers
[Outro: Michael]
Six months since I went away
And I know everything has changed
But tomorrow I'll be comin' back to you
