Let's Say

Lets say
we were 17
billion miles
from anything
would you still
hear the phone ring
where's my
answering machine

sometimes i cant sleep at night
wonder what it would be like.....

lets say
we were fast asleep
holding hands
under the sheet
would you think
it was a dream
would you
r. e. m. with me

sometimes i cant sleep at night
wonder what it would be like
if you were to run away with me
...would you run away with me ?

if we could just close our eyes
drift away
and find a good place to hide
run away

lets say
we had everything
fancy cars and big t.v.s
would you
find it all
boring
lets just sit
and
watch it rain
or
we could just close our eyes
drift away and find a good place to hide
run away

if we could just close our eyes
