Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking the length of the city
Like a child
Waiting for the call
Searching the streets for direction
The endless night
Emotion never shown
[Verse 2]
You need all these things
Ways to help you bear the weight
That if I pull you close
The pain goes
[Verse 3]
You need all these things
In the silence that remains
Still I just don’t know
[Chorus]
Why the distance grows
So wide
Why the distance grows
Out of sight
Why the distance grows
So wide
Why the distance grows
Like a child, running back to you
[Refrain]
Running back to you
[Verse 4]
Calls that the silence remembers
You live on
Through all the days without
Searching in every direction
Catching fire
Your mind alive with doubt
[PreChorus]
You need all these things
Ways to help you bear the weight
That if I pull you close
The pain goes
You need all these things
In the silence that remains
Still I just don’t know
[Chorus]
Why the distance grows
So wide
Why the distance grows
Out of sight
Why the distance grows
So wide
Why the distance grows
Like a child running back to you
[Refrain]
Running back to you
