The way he greets her at the door

With a smile that she's seen before

He'd lose his mind if he thought

That she's not here to see him

In the bathroom up the stairs

Got her cornered, fixed her with that stare

Eyes drift and nostrils flare

But she's not here to see him

I guess you can't blame her when she lives so far away

Still you know the kind of thing that people will say

Out of town and out of reach

Too good for us it seems

The night moves on and we all go out

No one sure who she's thinking about

Even so he still follows her around

She's not here to see you

With these lights its hard to tell

If its her or if its someone else

So stay inside or you'll break the spell

She's not here to see you

I guess you can't blame her when she lives so far away

Still you know the kind of thing that people will say

Out of town and out of reach

Too good for us it seems

Always something on her mind

Or a distance in those eyes

Its always been this way

All that fresh air in those lungs

Makes for nights where no one has any fun

What a shame

Outside, she's on her own

What's she doing - nobody knows

I guess it all just goes to show

She's not here to see us

I go, I can see my chance

Won't you come in for a dance?

She smiles but she says 'no thanks'

Cos she's not here to see us

I guess you can't blame her when she lives so far away

Still you know the kind of thing that people will say

Out of town and out of reach

Too good for us it seems
