I was just thinking that I have been missing you for way too long 
 There's something inside this weary head that wants us to love just instead 
 But I was just thinking, merely thinking 
    I've got loads of pictures 
 I've got the one of you in that dancing dress 
 But man I feel silly in that dim light 
 Just after doing you by the sight of my Kodak delights 
 I am sinking, merely sinking   
 I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe 
 I'm a singer without a song 
 If I wait for you longer my affection is stronger I 
 I was just thinking, merely thinking 
 This boat is sinking   
 I'm tired of postcards, especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids 
 I'm tired of calling you, missing you, dreaming I've slept with you 
 Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you 
 Inside this weary head I just want us to love instead 
 But I was just thinking and thinking, merely thinking   
 I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe 
 And time is running me still 
 If I wait for you longer my affection is stronger 
 I was just thinking I was just thinking 
 That I'm tired of calling you once a week 
 And thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you 
 Baby, I'm sinking, merely sinking
