Lyrics
Love the Distance
(c) 2013 Kristina Stykos/BMI/Horse Thief Publishing
I want you to take your time
I want you to clear your mind
I want you to go away
If that’s what you need today
I want you to disappear
Just as if I was not here
I can hold a place for you
So you can do what you need to do
You can drive into the night
Wake up in the motel light
Gather up your things and move
Be yourself with nothing to prove
Feel your days stretching out
No worries, free of doubt
Forget about what you lack
You know I’m gonna to watch your back
It’s only right
Because we can love
Love the distance
That’s what we do
It’s only right
Because we can love
Love the distance
It’s only right
Love, love, love
We can love, we can love, we can love
I want you to feel the rain
On your face and smile again
Let the wind caress you skin
Walk and walk and let your life begin
Shed some of the pain you wear
Release your sorrow to the air
Breathe in what for you is true
Know that I’m here for you
It’s only right
Because we can love
Love the distance
That’s what we do
It’s only right
Because we can love
Love the distance
Between me and you
