"The Spice Of Life (Demo)" lyrics

Something has come between me and the world that I knew
And what I thought would last is falling apart
In the face of something new
How can I explain that I had no choice?
The sound of the waves fills her ears and it drowns out
Drowns out my voice
Oh, I'm just too far away
For her to believe what I say
She couldn't hear me and she wouldn't listen anyway

And how can I write a letter, the post is so slow? (The post is so slow)
And if I'm to disappoint her that's something
She ought to know
I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone (Wait here alone)
How can so much harm be done by just two minutes
Spent on the phone?
You say that things will get better
But she would hate me if I let her
And she reads so much into every word that I say

I hoped that being apart would just bring us some variety
But after some time it seems clear that she's changed
In a different way from me
And I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame
It's just her, it's just me
It's just everything that is not the same
Sometimes I would turn back the clock
And recapture all that we've lost
But I couldn't bear to give up all that we have today
