Simple Distance

You seem unsure of yourself

Standing off to the side

Your eyes shining brightly towards me

Tell me who broke your heart

And left you all on your own

With a view of love still fading

We've got to figure this out

Why in every town the sky is falling

In and all around us

Could it be you and I are the ones to blame

At times we know which way the wind is leading

It draws us in with a swift cool breeze

And passing through our lungs

Fills our chest with a new beat

To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet

And what if romance

Is it worth pursuing

When even the right ones end being wrong

It seems we've made a mess of what's more than a feeling

Oh my God does it break your heart

The distance here is growing

And we're in danger of missing what good is left

The ones who stay while knowing

Just what an awful mess we can be

So let's slow down to take in

The air we've been quick to dismiss

We are fallin faster now but this is hardly the end

Oh

It's more than simple distance

When I found the waters up to my neck

I'm running purely on persistance

Hoping faith will force forward each step

So shake your mind from slowly sinking under

There's no time to sleep and wonder

What would life be like had I been brave

The distance here is growing

And we're in danger of missing what good is left

The ones who stay while knowing

Just what an awful mess we can be

So let's slow down to take in

The air we've been quick to dismiss

We are fallin faster now but this is hardly the end

Oh

So what if change is simple looking forward and letting go

Of what doors have been closed

Maybe courage lies in moving on

Even though your fear begs not to

The distance here is growing

And I'm afraid that the memory of your kiss

Will be enough to stop me
