Verse 1
Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,
Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby
Beside the southern ocean, taking stock of what's to be
Writing you this letter that you'll prob'ly never see
Chorus
But I can't help but be
ruled by inconsistencies,
not unique, just distantly
in love
Verse 2
Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged
Me and you would rendez-vous, but I found your number changed
So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells
Toasted our old photographs still up there on the shelf
Chorus
But I can't help but be
ruled by my antiquity,
not unique, just distantly
in love

Bridge
I can't be the one to fill your times and all your places
I can't be the one to fill your blanks and empty spaces
Verse 3
I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay
You had a new lover who had stolen you away
That could be the reason that I never got in touch
May present slight problems if he loves you half as much
Chorus
Cause I can't help but be
ruled by my antiquity,
not unique, just distantly
in love
Outro
You know I can't help but be
part of my own philosophies,
not unique, just distantly
in love
