Distraction

I need some kind of distraction
maybe romance under the moon
something to take my mind off
of all these thoughts of you

I keep trying to turn left
but it's a one way street
always too much traffic
in my deepest dreams

It's like swimming in the ocean
with a dangerous undertow
and I am close to drowning
and I'm just too tired to float

I need some kind of distraction
maybe romance under the moon
something to take my mind off
of all these thoughts of you
