Life is a game where nothing is real - only you, only me Right from the start we chase an ideal - fooling you, fooling me Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel you're still no. 1 but they're coming up to get you Young eyes burning bright they can see a better way You won't sleep tonight but that's the price you pay Out of the past the words to a song - calling you, calling me Hope it will last but time pushes on - pullling you, pulling me Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel Every dream you had like balloons they burst around you So you're on the phone trying to conjure up your past But the damage has been done We're too far apart and strangers we've become And I wonder if it's true Is the world a different place for me and you Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel In out hearts we're still the same But the worlds we chose to live In may have changed And the damage has been done we trust no-one We're too far apart and strangers we've become
