Distractions lyrics

What is this thing in life that persuades me to spend

Time away from you?

If you can answer this, you can have the moon

This is the place to be, anyway you can see

There's a lovely view

Why are there always so many other things to do?

Distractions, like butterflies, are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the life we'd lead if we could only be free

From these distractions

The postman's at the door while the telephone rings

On the kitchen wall

Pretend we're not at home, and they'll disappear

I want to be with you, tell me what I can do

Nothing is too small

Away from all this jazz, we could do anything at all

Distractions, like butterflies, are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the things we'd do if we could only be through

With these distractions

I'll find the peaceful place far a way from the noise of a busy day

Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars

Distractions, like butterflies, are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the things we'd do if we could only be through

With these distractions

Distractions, like butterflies, are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the life we'd lead if we could only be free

From these distractions
