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
