8 Days

She called just to tell me she’d left me and she could protect me no more
So for 8 days I drifted and tried to lose sight of her frozen shores

Don’t look at the sun
It don’t shine for anyone
But it smiled on me now

Love look at us now I’m out of touch how does it feel
I’m lost you’re burning me down now I’m saying it out loud
I need you here yeah
8 days is too long
Too long
The heart is the name but you know that the mind is the face of emotion
And my cuts are so deep that I’ll say all I need with one act of devotion

Oh baby I’m gone
There’s a killer on the run
Can’t you see it in me

Love look at us now I’m out of touch how does it feel
I’m lost you’re burning me down now I’m saying it out loud
I need you here yeah
Love look at us now I’m out of touch how does it feel
I’m lost you’re burning me down now leaving me out of sight
I need you here yeah
8 days is too long
Too long
8 days

There’s no turning back now it’s over I’m sinking the wheels are in motion
And I’m out of this world but at home I lay five fathoms deep in the ocean

Oh baby I’m gone
You’re enough for anyone
And I was someone baby

8 days is too long
Look at us now
Too long
How does it feel
I’m lost you’re burning me down now I’m saying it out loud
I need you here
Love look at us now
Look at us now
How does it feel
Love look at us now
Look at us now
I need you here
