lyrics

Trade places with me
Hate to be away
Faded memories
Well I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same

So trade places with me
Surely you will see
I'm fading fast here without you
But if we trade your place for mine
For sure we'll still be loving blind
But I'll take comfort knowing you

Are there occupying the space I once filled
While I sink into where your warmth lingers still
And if I awaken to an empty pillow there
Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair

Trade places with me
Pull the words apart
In little agonies
Well I perceive the hints you leave
The broadcast I almost believe
But it's not quite the same

Trade places with me
Take the space was mine
Revel in the energy
For if we trade your place for mine
It might just serve to pass the time
And it would be a joy to see

Are there occupying the space I once filled
While I sink into where your warmth lingers still
And if I awaken to an empty pillow there
Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair

Separated by so much space
Put me right there in your place
Struggling to pass the time
Come and take this place of mine

Trade places with me
Hate to be away
Faded memories
Well I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same

So trade places with me
Surely you will see
I'm fading fast here without you
But if we trade your place for mine
For sure we'll still be loving blind
But I'll take comfort knowing you . . .

I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same
