More at a Distance

Calendar pages torn and abandoned

The hourglass all out of sand

My circus companion

Shot from a cannon

Never once thought that we'd land

Caught in a downpour

Silence surrounding

I guess we'll be stuck here awhile

Ferris wheel frozen

Carousel closing

Two of us lost in denial

I couldn't love you

Not like you're used to

You've said it again and again

I could have kept you

More at a distance

If I thought I was losing a friend

Back in the days of shadows and strangers

You were the light in my hand

Leading me forward without hesitation

Why couldn't I understand?

But I was too high above you

Tangled and twisted

Wrapped up in carnival lies

I was lost in the story

I couldn't resist it

The truth of the tears in your eyes

I couldn't love you

Not like you're used to

You've said it again and again

I could have kept you

More at a distance

If I thought I was losing a friend

If I thought I was losing a friend
