The Father The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Seven whole days and six whole nights 'til I get to you
I'm running out of clues, I've got my feet on the ground
Seven whole days and six whole nights 'til I'm by your side
I'll wish it were tonight, I've got my head in the clouds
And I think I miss you most when you're alone
I try to make it here, but nothing feels like home
The farther the distance, the stronger the love
It's all that I'm after, so the harder I run
Can I ask you a question?
What is it like to be alone?
Were you so scared that you're shaking
And there's no one there to know?
Well, you've have my heart since '98
So it hurts like hell when we separate
Give it time, love,
'Cause you're the reason that I run
The farther the distance, the stronger the love
It's all that I'm after, so the harder I run
The farther the distance, the stronger the love
It's all that I'm after, so the harder I run
And I run to the end of the coast
Wherever you go, I'm right behind you
And I run where you are
Doesn't matter how far
I'll always find you
(I'll always find you)
The farther the distance, the stronger the love
It's all that I'm after, so the harder I run
The farther the distance, the stronger the love
It's all that I'm after, so the harder I run (so the harder I run
