Let's Say Lyrics

lets 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
