I look across the distance
The bits and bytes between us
Looking at the time it'd take to drop everything and head that way
I melt a hole in my phone screen
Waiting for reply so intently
It's hard to be present here when my everything is nowhere near
Separate beings, the want to unite but
Distance keeps us away
Desperate pining for tactile connection
But it leads me astray
Take my feelings and knock on the front door
But it keeps me away
Send a message across all the distance
Praying you'll find a way
Can I still be close to you?
Can I still get close to you?
Yeah, I can still get close to you
And we can keep this feeling true
Can I still be close to you?
Can I still get close to you?
Yeah, I can still get close to you
And we can keep this feeling true
Stay with me
Oh, rest your weary head
We may feel so far away
But we can throw that gap away
If you'll just
I'll fall asleep and dream here with you
Three thousand miles at ten and one
A wire-crossed and tangled romance
Some voicemail's all I'm asking for
(Are you gonna pick up? Are you there? Do you care?)
Separate feelings, the want to unite, but
I can't make it okay
And I know you've tried to get closer
But I'll still push you away
(Come closer)
Pulled away by the distance between us
From a single mistake
And although I've tried to get closer
It all still keeps me awake
(Come closer)
Can I still be close to you?
Can I still get close to you?
Yeah, I can still get close to you
And we can keep this feeling true
Can I still be close to you?
Can I still get close to you?
Yeah, I can still get close to you
And we can keep this feeling true
Stay with me
Oh, rest your weary head
We may feel so far away
But we can throw that gap away
If you'll just stay with me
Oh, it's more than just a dream
Though it's hard for me to say
I know you're not so far away
If you'll just
It's so hard for me to trust your heart
That you love me even when we're apart
But I know its true
How could I not believe in you?
God, the miles are more than I can bear
But I have to try if you'll be there
And the day I land between your arms
Darling, don't be scared, it ain't that far
Jamie Paige
Oh, that's my fucking name
I am real and I'm okay
And I will live another day
