Marshmallows

I saw your tweets when you said you couldn't Skype me
I told myself I wouldn't jump to conclusions
But I don't know what's worse, this or all the confusion
I don't know what to think but I know what seems likely
We've never met but I still feel this affinity
The internet is vast but it feels like you're right there
So who'd have ever thought that there'd be a night where
The distance between us would feel like infinity

'Cause in this very short time we've grown clo-o-ose
And I had just expected this to gro-o-ow
I never thought that it would ever go-o-o
I even went and stocked up on marshmallo-o-ows

Marshmallo-o-ows
Marshmallo-o-ows

So those conclusions I concluded were inaccurate
As you stayed over for some time, what could be sweeter?
The distance between us was mere nanometres
A spot of awkward but more or less immaculate
But since you left, the conversation's less lively
A sentence back and forth, then nothing for a few days
I get the feeling we won't move to a new phase
(Will you be here again, up in Coventry?)
Just like those tweets when you said you couldn't Skype me
(And they're here again and it bothers me)

'Cause in this very short time we've grown clo-o-ose
And I had just expected this to gro-o-ow
I never thought that it would ever go-o-o
I even went and stocked up on marshmallo-o-ows

Marshmallo-o-ows
Marshmallo-o-ows

And there's no way, there's no way to find out how this goes
'Cause when it fills me up I cannot speak
Marshmallows
And there's no way, there's no way to find out how this goes
I hold it over flame, it sticks to me
Marshmallows
