Lyrics
Verse 1
Mary?s waiting in the car
Kids remind me of who we are
When we?re at each other?s throat
Daniel?s making window smiles
While Mary explains Heather she is
Giving up her room just for a while
Pre-chorus 1
The postcards I wrote were from long ago
My letters returned with ?address unknown?
The link I had has just been blown
You won?t come to the phone
Chorus 1
We go through fifty ways of separation
We loose contact & communication
It?s sad but
It?s over
Verse 2
Pictures gone and on the wall
There are cracks that tell it all
Even memories fade away
While wandering through the house
I hardly recognise the rooms
Which look like they belong to
Someone else
Pre-chorus 2
I?m wondering now how we last this long
When everything we did was wrong
The feeling that I don?t belong
While coming back for more
Chorus
As we go through fifty ways of separation
We loose contact & communication
It?s sad but
It?s over
Middle Eight
I remember back in school
You were different from the rest
The things you thought and talked about
And the way that you were dressed
Pre Chorus 3
The postcards I wrote were from long ago
My letters returned with ?address unknown?
The link I had has just been blown
You won?t come to the phone
Chorus 3
As we go trough fifty ways of separation
We loose contact & communication
We?re trough fifty ways of separation
We loose contact & communication
It?s sad but
It?s over
Yes, it?s over
Yes, it?s over
