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.

You come stand in line

And over here, come get my kiss

And I’ll be clear:

I need some distance

I want the distance, some distance

Is there someone else on your mind

When your lips press up on mine

I taste the difference

Now I need some distance, some distance

Why pretend everything’s ok

I’ll put my time in

And this will never be safe

Will never be the same girl I was when

Calling you Chris

Tonight, I’m fine, your goodbye

Cause you really don’t wanna go

Here tonight, I won’t cry,

But you never listen though

You come stand in line

And over here, come get my kiss

And I’ll be clear:

I need some distance

I want the distance, some distance

Is there someone else on your mind

When your lips press up on mine

I taste the difference

Now I need some distance, some distance

Who knows who to blame

Should’ve brought us close

The ones … you say you love the most

I am a once, and you will get it twice

It’s for the best, and now it’s turning fast

Tonight, I’m fine, your goodbye

Cause you really don’t wanna go

Here tonight, I won’t cry,

But you never listen though

You come stand in line

And over here, come get my kiss

And I’ll be clear:

I need some distance

I want the distance, some distance

Is there someone else on your mind

When your lips ṗress up on mine

I taste the difference

Now I need some distance, some distance

All I wanna feel is distance between us

All I wanna feel is distance between us

All I wanna feel is distance between us

All I wanna feel is distance between us
