Hello, My Name Is Distance

Drop all these words, they fall on deaf ears

Drop all these words

All the times you've felt the ground decay

And wished the earth would take you too

To keep a world inside your head

Know that there's a line a mile long

Who'd gladly take the plunge with you

We'll mark an "x" on the horizon

And watch what dreams we have

Come true

So pick a spot in the distance

And put all this behind you,

Don't look back at the past,

It will catch up

And it will drown you

No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking,

You're finally ready to swim

Fragile is the sense of disbelief I find in you

If you can pull the weakest string,

The tightest threads can come undone

Unravelled in my thoughts, where you can't see

Pulled apart now before me,

And I can't seem to find the end

So pick a spot in the distance

And put all this behind you,

Don't look back at the past,

It will catch up

And it will drown you

No more afraid, when the whole world is sinking,

You're finally ready to swim

I'm watching that place now, in the corner of your mouth,

Where a smile slowly creeps, but you won't let it out

Your eyes...

It hides in your eyes

It hides in your eyes,

Knowing what they have seen

In the way that they shine,

Reflecting all that has been

It hides in your eyes
