Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tryin' not to lose my head
But I have never been this scared before
Tell you what I'll do instead
Lay my body down on the floor
To forget what I've done
Silhouette till the good Lord come
[Verse 2]
All we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
[Verse 3]
Tryin' not to lose your own
Boxin' up everything
You've got all you ever knew of home
You're scared, scared to see
Your mother there in the door
You wonder, where did the years go?
[Verse 4]
And all we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
[Verse 5]
But this is how the story ends
Or have we just begun
To kiss away the difference?
I know you hate this one
[Verse 6]
Violins make no sound
And I begin to feel the ground
[Verse 7]
All we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
[Verse 8]
But this is how the story ends
Or have we just begun
To kiss away the difference?
I know you hate this one
[Verse 9]
The sensory's tolling
Passin' some new world
Rushin' past the window
Like he's watchin' his own son
Sixty years of sorrow
Brought five, six of bliss
So he left my mother's mother
Without so much as a kiss
