Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoe
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
Unweary, i'm not quite rusty yet
This could be obvious to you
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
In this short time we've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you,
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
(Flashing on)
Dear sleeper, you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been treading air.
I've been trying to reach you,
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
(Doesn't reach that far)
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting,
the indicator light is flashing on
(It's flashing on)
(Flashing on)
In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you but
your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
doesn't reach that far,
reach that far.
I've been desperately waiting
the indicator light is flashing on,
it's flashing on,
flashing on.
I've been trying to reach you,
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
Wouldn't reach that far,
Reach that far.
(Doesn't reach that far)
I watched her taking off her shoe
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
Unweary, i'm not quite rusty yet
This could be obvious to you
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
In this short time we've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you,
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
(Flashing on)
Dear sleeper, you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been treading air.
I've been trying to reach you,
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
(Doesn't reach that far)
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting,
the indicator light is flashing on
(It's flashing on)
(Flashing on)
In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you but
your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
doesn't reach that far,
reach that far.
I've been desperately waiting
the indicator light is flashing on,
it's flashing on,
flashing on.
I've been trying to reach you,
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
Wouldn't reach that far,
Reach that far.
(Doesn't reach that far)

Anthony interviewed about the lyrics, yes. Still my interpretation about this is a guy who can't reach the girl over the phone and in real life. He probably thinks he's not the guy for this famous, wealthy, and everyone is talking about, girl of his dreams. A coward.
