lyrics

The Longest Distance

Seventeen hours
Till I get on that plane
I’m sure that I can’t sleep
For what dreams will bring
The late, light creeps toward me
Like a murderous monkey

I can’t touch you well
With these cold, metal hands
Just a poor imitation
Of a vital, young man
Would you try and remember
How it felt with those fingers

You’re ready and waiting
But it’s not like I’ve been here that long
Still I can’t hold this candle
As I fly back to where I came from
Sometimes the longest distance feels the shortest

A reluctant kiss
Such tentative lips
And I can’t lift your dress
With these cold metal hands
Are we still in this place?
Does it feel like a bird-cage?

You’re ready and waiting
On the bed where I know I belong
Still I can’t pay attention
As my mind flies to where I came from
Sometimes the longest distance feels the shortest
