Song DescriptionCelebrating the anxious "new love" feeling that a male & female share in the beginning stages of a relationship.
Story Behind the SongI was infatuated with a girl and after a short period of dating I felt myself becoming overcome with nerves any time we were apart. Even though we would plan to see each other in a day or two it felt as if she were a continent away, thus the referenc to Africa.
Lyrics
I want to cry out loud, I?d like to ask you how, can you now?
But that's the best of me
I'm left to hold on tight, left unwilling to fight, thru the night
But that's the best of me
You?re so far, you?re farther than Africa
I'll take what's left right now, if I only new how, can you now?
But that's the best of me
We?d stop right now if we could, if you think that we would, think we should?
But that's the best of me
You?re so far, you?re farther than Africa
