The Distance

Chorus

Pull the wire tight

Keep it held in place

Moving through the white

Fading from this space

Wait until I lose it

Wait until I feel

Hardly keep the distance

Turning at the wheel

Verse 1

Small frame on the shelf

Shadow on the hall

Watch me doubt myself

Lean against the wall

Searching for a current

Breathing through the grid

Doing what they wanted

Doing what I did

Pre-Chorus

Falling now

Coming down

Slowly slipping into

Something dark and true

Chorus

Pull the wire tight

Keep it held in place

Moving through the white

Fading from this space

Wait until I lose it

Wait until I feel

Hardly keep the distance

Turning at the wheel

Verse 2

Black ink on the skin

Lines are getting blurred

Where do we begin

Losing every word

Trying for a rhythm

Frozen at the start

Pieces of the picture

Lying in the heart

Pre-Chorus

Falling now

Coming down

Slowly slipping into

Something dark and true

Chorus

Pull the wire tight

Keep it held in place

Moving through the white

Fading from this space

Wait until I lose it

Wait until I feel

Hardly keep the distance

Turning at the wheel

Bridge

Under the light

Burning the night

Farther than I meant to go

Higher than I need to know

Close the eyes and sink

Falling off the brink

Chorus

Pull the wire tight

Keep it held in place

Moving through the white

Fading from this space

Wait until I lose it

Wait until I feel

Hardly keep the distance

Turning at the wheel
