Distance

How many hundreds of miles will you go
Fending off the parasites of loneliness and sleepless nights
How many minutes of time will you spend
Counting sheep and herding dreams, waiting for the borders in between

Can we outlast the gnawing at our hearts
When we are apart, build a bridge above the chasm floor
Close your eyes now, give your mind a break
Morning when you wake
You'll be one day closer than before

Lost in your gaze, endlessly amazed
Made it to the land, glue me to your hand
One more step close, pulled in nose to nose
All that came before is distant from the shore

How many goodnights until you're with me
When next can I see your face, one more stationary chase
How many letters have I still misread
Boulders crack and shift their weight, it's getting harder to communicate

Lost in your gaze, endlessly amazed
Made it to the land, glue me to your hand
One more step close, pulled in nose to nose
All that came before is distant from the shore

Can we outlast the gnawing at our hearts
When we are apart, build a bridge above the chasm floor
Close your eyes now, give your mind a break
Morning when you wake
You'll be one day closer than before

Lost in your gaze, endlessly amazed
Made it to the land, glue me to your hand
One more step close, pulled in nose to nose
All that came before is distant from the shore
