From Over Here (to Over There) Lyrics - Singles - Tommy Homonym

Help me, please. 

Pull me through. 

Hold me closer than I dare hold you. 

Don't give up. 

Draw me in. 

Make me turn from my glowing screen to your glowing skin. 

It's as if you were a kindly surgeon, 

And I your patient, prone and numb. 

I surrender like a wary virgin 

To your fingers and your thumb 

And your knife, that could either end or save my life. 

You work so hard- 

And I know it's not fair- 

Getting me to come from over here to over there. 

And I fail to see 

Why you would even bother 

For this cross between a needy child and an absent father. 

But try, please try. 

Please try.
