Distance

(C)2003 S.D. Sims


It’s not been that long
But I need to be near you
It’s not been that hard
But I feel I could die
Because it’s hard
Sometimes to believe you
I’m so insecure
I believe I could cry


And you’re sorry to be so far
I don’t even know where you are
And you can’t get back to me
So you’re sorry


Through it all I’m waiting and wanting
And through everything I am blind
In this world I’m watching and waiting
To see you


And I would
If I felt that you wanted me
Yes I would
But for your indifference
I would feel
You are everything I need
Yes I would
Were it not for your distance


And I feel stupid to feel so sad
I don’t even know where we stand
Although sometimes I fear you
I adore you


On top of everything I am falling
And behind everyone I stand
I’ll fight through the crowd to get to you
I’ll get to you


Down below, I’m running through fire
Up above, I’m walking on air
I feel so safe I can breathe under water
I feel so brave I can fly into space


I’m still trying to understand
As I reach out to hold your hand
You don’t realise that I need you
I need you


Through it all I’m wishing and longing
And despite everything I try
In spite of myself I am wanting you
Don’t stay out of my reach


You’re everything I need
I don’t want you to be more
Than you are
Just don’t keep your distance
Don’t stay so distant
Don’t be so distant
