Lyrics & music: john oates Please return, come back, i've been saving your place Too much time has elapsed-unreality-memory erases The rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply Far apart - so together is destiny weeded to fate I write the script, you direct my dreams We're along on the beach for the pa**ionate scene And it's a drag to wake up with you ... saying to me How does it feel to be back in my arms again I'm bored and alone and it's weakening me One night out and i'm looking for trouble and finding it's easy You know we all make mistakes and we all need the touch of a hand In the right kind of place, in a time of need I could pick up the phone, but the talk ain't cheap I pick up on the thoughts that you're sending to me And i wait for the day i hear you saying to me How does it feel to be back in my arms again
