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.
I don't wanna only call your name when I'm brokenhearted (yeah)
I already know much I've got to lose (oh-oh)
I don't wanna have to crash and burn to be where we started (yeah)
I don't wanna ever need a map to you (oh)
I've run so far and so high
I'll chase the Sun till light time
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (oh, yeah)
I'm so good at walls, good at lies, putting up my fences (oh, yeah)
I'm human as it gets when it comes to you (oh, yeah)
Looking in the mirror, seeing a man with a million faces (oh, no)
But every single one, they know the truth
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
I've run so far and so high
I'll chase the Sun till light time
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (oh, yeah)
