Can't We Get Together? - Steve Forbert

Can’t we get together in the same time zone?

I could wait forever, but it’s all that time alone

Can’t we get together?

Can’t it be that good?

Things don’t tend to work out like I planned them

But they could, but they could

I could wait forever, but it’s all that time alone

Can’t we get together?

Can’t it be that good?

Things don’t tend to work out like I planned them

But they could

Can’t we get together in the same time zone?

I could wait forever, but it’s all that time alone

Can’t we get together?
