[Intro] Radio low. Curtains drawn. I hate this song. [Verse 1] Fever burning through the sheets Afternoon too hot to sleep Something playing on the radio Soft guitar and saxophone There's a girl from somewhere warm Drifting through another song I don't like it, not at all I just want the noise to stop [Pre-Chorus] The radio's across the room The remote could be on Mars I could change the station If I could only move my arms [Chorus] Out of reach Just across the room Another song Another tune I close my eyes And let it play There's nothing else I can do anyway Out of reach Across the room Please let this song Be over soon [Verse 2] Finally the last note fades Thank God, something else will play A second passes Maybe two That saxophone Again. Another track I do not know Same slow breath, the same soft tone I stare accusingly at the wall Like any of this is its fault [Pre-Chorus] I could crawl across the floor I could pull the plug somehow I consider both Then don't. [Chorus] Out of reach Just across the room Another song Another tune I close my eyes And let it play There's nothing else I can do anyway Out of reach Across the room ... This one's not so bad. [Instrumental] [Verse 3] I don't remember when it changed No revelation, nothing strange Somewhere between one track and four I wasn't fighting anymore The saxophone went floating past I started listening at last Then one song ended And I waited For the next [Bridge] Years later Somewhere unexpected Three or four notes And there I am Curtains drawn Too weak to move Radio across the room Funny what can reach you When you cannot reach it [Final Chorus] Out of reach Just across the room Another song Another tune I closed my eyes And let it play And somehow never Put it away Out of reach Across the room I wanted it gone That afternoon Now when I hear That sound again I let it play Until the end [Outro] Soft guitar. Saxophone. ... Don't change the station.
