in the end

she gave me the number
wrote it on the wall
answers in a different voice
every time i call
i don't recognize at all

borrowed my umbrella
said it looked like rain
said that she would cover me
if we'd ever meet again
never again

in the silence between us
a new sound will rise and fill the air
it's ours and ours alone
and the only thing we own
in the end

she gave me direction
said it wasn't far
i didn't know the language
i couldn't even start
i couldn't go that far

in the distance between us 
there lies a length of common ground
it's ours and ours alone
and the only thing we own
in the end
