Lyrically, it is a love song from the perspective of a long-distance relationship.
Lyrics
(...how!) Almost every day, I am swept away From the dull, void and null, by the things you say Wouldn't it be great, living in one state? State of mind, intertwined, that you help create When we're on the phone, I am no longer alone It's a start, but my heart is still in another time zone You're the greatest thing random fate couldn't bring Still, I smile. Maybe I'll meet you in the spring What if I don't? God I hope I do Wishes come true Waiting for everything to fall into place So far a distance just to see face to face Between you and me, I think rules don't apply Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try You are, indubitably The loveliest possible person for me Why weren't we thrown together Somewhere nice with perfect weather? Where cosmic placement failed Where Serendipity dragged her tail Is where we are right now We must escape, but we don't know how You know what would be rad? If I were rich, and if I had An aeroplane with giant wings And funky old propeller things I would fly right by your place And pick you up with gentle grace And fly straight into outer space Just to see you face to face And when we come back, we'll be fast asleep Counting camels instead of sheep Waiting for everything to fall into place So far a distance just to see face to face Between you and me, I think rules don't apply Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try Wonder if I'll ever be with you? Do wishes come true? God I hope they do
