The Distance Lyrics

I told you you would never get it, and to be honest, I guess that's why it's never scripted

Too many scribbles on the pad, running circles till the ink's gone

Another day wasted on a goddamn grief song

My chest hurts, I've exhausted my lungs, trying to get to the point that you've been missing

all along

I'm floating down this toxic river with no safety preserver

I can't preserve this love any further, it's running dry

Trapped in your plastic bottle, just hoping I can come home to one sober night

Got more distance drawn than the river nile, but getting nowhere when you keep living in

denial

I got that 9-11 destruction going on in our home front, but from the front, it looks like

nothing but sole love

The lies and manipulation keep flowing deep, how long before you can't press them out through

your teeth

And tell me when I can feel comfortable in the sheets

Been looking for the finish, but the line's getting bleak

Can't get a clear view through the smudge and the streaks

I'll just keep driving blind through the screams and the screech

You tell me that you love me more, that you love me more

You tell me that you love me more, yeah, that you love me more

You tell me that you love me more, yeah, that you love me more

Then tell me why I'm walking towards the front door

You tell me that you love me more, that you love me more

You tell me that you love me more, yeah, that you love me more

You tell me that you love me more, yeah, that you love me more

Then tell me why I'm walking towards the front door

Now were fucked up, too many scars, tried to follow crumbs, but we went too far, down back roads

to make our mark

Getting lost in the shadows when the moon is dark, it's been a cruel battle, but no white flags, just bloody tears, some nightcaps

Can't fill the void, with this mic stand, so I'll play this show till the light's end

No reflections in shattered mirrors, just broken pieces and feelings smeared across

The asphalt to the place we feared

Let go of everything that I held dear, static words when I'm not tuned in

Just check the dial and I'm not plugged in

I've drifted off this state of mind, left scars on the walls from where I tried to climb

I keep searching for a glimmer of hope, but the rope has been cut to paradise
