Distance

Distance makes the heart grow fonder

Distance makes you not want to wander the roads alone

You said that you would let me go

But now that you have let me go

I miss the burn of the shackles on my wrists

Freedom has always been my color

But colors run, and colors fade away

Step away from all you have discovered

To find that everything is still the same

Oh, I will be fine

All our lives will intertwine one day

That day, we will dance around and celebrate

That all our hands fit the same way still

Distance makes the fire stronger

Distance helps erase all the rains and all the storms

You said our house feels bigger now

You thought you'd be fine by now

But you miss the burn of the shackles on your wrists

I try to find a way to where I'd settled

But the more I swim, the more I drift away

And maybe all these ties we want to sever

Are the ones that keep us safe along the way

Oh, I will be fine

All our lives will intertwine one day

That day, we will dance around and celebrate

That all our hands fit the same way still

Oh, but even my memory, plays so many tricks on me

Time fills in the cracks with gold

And all I see is gold

Bottle up the gold

Just the gold

Sit beside me, you ancient ruins

Tell me stories of past beginnings

Sit beside me, you ancient ruins

Let me harbor my happy fantasies

I can't see myself

In another's arms

'Cause the arms that hold me are soft and familiar

I can't hear my voice in another's song

'Cause this melody is much too sweet

Oh, my way is lost

Walking in circles of perpetual past

One day we will laugh aloud

And celebrate that all our hands fit the same way still

Hey, tomorrow, you don't know me

You've won me over but, yes, I still bleed

I can't see myself in another's hands

'Cause the hands that hold me are soft and familiar

I can't hear my voice in another's song

'Cause this melody is much too sweet

Oh, my way is lost

Walking in circles of perpetual past

One day we will laugh aloud

And celebrate that all our hands fit the same way still

Fit the same way still

Fit the same way still
