The Distance

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

When we sat in evenings

Countin' up the seconds

Between the thunder and the lightning

Tryin' to find the distance

The space between what we feel and what we see

Like the distance coming between you and me

[Chorus]

So don't be long

Don't be long

[Verse 2]

Are we murder and confetti?

Are we science and the holy ghost?

The space between is spreading and getting strong

Distance only grows, so don't be long

[Chorus]

So don't be long

Don't be long

So don't be long

Don't be long

[Post-Chorus]

The line between getting air and getting gone

These lines get distorted, so don't be long

[Bridge]

And I feel gutted

I count the seconds up

I count the seconds, I'm fine

Don't be long
