Between Us Now Lyrics by River Phoenix

1986

There seems to be a distance between us now and I can’t hold on to your hat darling
I could, you know I wouldn’t but you’re
So far from me, I hardly see you anymore

Then you ask me for the words of truth I send you
If I said it all in fear, if the end is growing near
The end is something you can’t tell until it falls upon you

I couldn’t be your lover..
I couldn’t catch your fall..
I didn’t write you notes
I do insist, you’re what I miss
I should have called
I’m holding onto our last kiss!

There seems to be a difference between us now and I can hold on to the memories of you and I in our world!

You’re in our world without me
You need someone who wants to rule

Glad I sеnt you flowers..
Decorate your walls..
Write you words of love you can’t resist, It’s what you miss
I didn’t come
I left you feeling lost within

And then you look me in the eyes of blue I show you all the secrets I’ve kept
But you and I get nothing but honest words with reason
Answer questions in my mind

I couldn’t be your lover..
I couldn’t catch you fall..
I didn’t write you notes
I do insist, you’re what I miss
We should have solved some things
That was my only wish

Here I stand before you, spilling all the dirty things I’ve done
On your newly tailored dress
Quite upset. I’ve made a mess
On your newly tailored dress
You must confess, it’s something that you bargain for

At times I’m at my best
You couldn’t ask for less, you couldn’t ask for more
