Oh my friend loneliness, where have you been?
You left to the lure of the lover who left me alone
But now you come crawling back, and I´ll let you in
And we´ll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago

But there must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it´s alright"

And oh my dear distance, I´ve met you before
Longing for a lover who´s lost on a far distant shore
And oh my imperfections, are all that remain
And the days when I´d love you and I´d leave you, and you´d wish that I would stay

There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it´s alright"

I know what she looks like, her face and skin, her smell and the rest
I know the feel of her soul, but God help me I just cannot find her address
I´ve how I´ve tried but now all that´s left
Is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness

There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it´s alright"
"Hey, it´s alright"
"Hey, it´s alright"
