I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road

        Jessie looks out her window and sees Jonny walking down the
        Quest’s driveway.

We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears

        She walks outside to the floodlight.  They stand there, silent

Just you and me
on this island of hope
a breath between us could be miles

        They are still standing there, but the scene changes to an
island.

Let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek

        The camera circles around them,

Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

        Jonny walks off.

And I forgot
to tell you
I love you

        Jessie runs after him, but he doesn’t stop.

and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

        She turns back around and stuffs her hands in her pockets.
        The wind blows her hair away from her face and she shivers.

I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say
I need you so

        a tear rolls down her cheek.  She opens her mouth to speak,
        then turns around to face Jonny. She tells him to wait.

Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

        He stops and waits for her to catch up.  She’s face to face with
        him now. She tries to speak, but can’t say the words.  He starts
        to leave again.

And I forgot
to tell you
I love you

        she sings the above part to him.

and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

        Jonny turns around again, shocked.  Jessie shivers again. Jonny
        walks up and puts his jacket over her shoulders.  They walk into
        the house together, arm in arm.
