Sometimes the words the end
don't have to mean it's over
the credits still have to roll
Visions of the acting
still run through your head
they're starting to take their toll

The plan is so enormous
the scheme too intense
to understand every move
It's like trying to see the record
from beginning to end
while you're standing in the groove

How long has it been since the first hello?
How long since the starting kiss?
How long will it be if you meet again
this one that you dearly miss?

Three doors down I hear a knock on the door
Is it me, is it me, that they're looking for
Oh, so sorry, my mistake again
And I dared to think it might last this time
like a telephone call for a single dime
Oh, yeah sure, I'll just be your friend

How long has it been since the first hello?
How long since the starting kiss?
How long will it be should you meet again
this one that you dearly miss?
this one that you dearly miss
