A Love Affair With Distance

I've lost my voice

I've said all I have to say

You're thick as porcelain

As clear as cellophane.

I miss the nervous shake

And miss the way it hurt

The way it killed to think

That I had You first, that I had you first

So then I force a smile and I take the stage

Now my knees are weak try to concentrate

I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take...

I look into your eyes See the chemicals

You're the whitest white You've become a ghost

You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?

The phone is like a knife

I drive into my ear

I had a love affair

With distance and with fear

The bus is like a hearse

Driving me from her

She's as black as white

She the perfect curse

She's the perfect curse

So then I force a smile and I take the stage

Now my knees are weak try to concentrate

I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take...

I look into your eyes See the chemicals

You're the whitest white You've become a ghost

You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?

And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie, you could come down on me.

And if you saved my life, how could I survive, you're the one that made me

This way

So then I force a smile and I take the stage

Now my knees are weak try to concentrate

I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take...

I look into your eyes See the chemicals

You're the whitest white You've become a ghost

You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
