Two hundred miles from my home
A million miles from you
Livin' without you on my own
You know it's hard to do
And through the night, feelings grow
You know I need you so

Lightning and thunder may appear
But you know I'm forever here
Time will never tear us apart
We'll never leave as broken-hearted
Believe in me, you know how I really feel
My love, how I want you near

Helene, things you do
Make me crazy about you
Helene, when we say goodbye
It always makes me cry

Helene, things you do
Make me crazy about you
Helene, stay just one more night
Say you don't have to leave
Until the end of time

Helene, things you do
Make me crazy about you
Can't you stay just one more night
Can't you stay by my side

Two hundred miles from my home
And so many miles from you
Livin' without you on my own
You know it's hard to do
And through the night, feelings grow
You know I need you so x3
