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 passionate 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
