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.
You watch me from a distance
you close your eyes you turn your back on me
you seem to be the only one with your life together
why don't you come on over
and see whats going on (still don't know anything)
just take the time (to see what we're all about)
so much more than you can see
don't tell me what's good for me
don't say that i'm wasting my time
i hear you in the distance
does it feel good to say the things you say (about me)
and you are still the only one who thinks you're something special
why don't you come on over
and see whats going on (still don't know anything)
just take the time (to see what we're all about)
so much more than you can see
don't tell me what's good for me
don't say that i'm wasting my time
cause you don't know anything
anything at all
don't tell me what's good for me
don't say that i'm wasting my time
