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? (x2) 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 chests with a new beat, To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet And what of romance? Is it worth pursuing? When even the right ones end up 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're falling faster now But this is hardly the end, oh It's more than simple distance When I've found the water's up to my neck I'm running purely on persistence 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're falling faster now, But this is hardly the end, oh So what if change is simply 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
