Distance

[Verse 1:]
The air is thinner as we climb
We only got one destination
Touch the clouds and gravity's edge
And the rest is our momentum
Does it matter if I can't breathe up there?
I got memories of what we began
And you have followed my silhouette
That grows bigger towards the sun.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I can see your darkened eyes (I need to know you're here)
And you are still hiding your smile.

[Chorus:]
Take my dismay
Throw it away
When you reach me
Help find the way
Look out for slopes
Down the telescope
And when you reach me
I'll let you stay.

[Verse 2:]
How many times do we have to write our names in the sand
So they don't wash away?
How many times do we leave our mark?
I've been worried if you'll be okay
I can travel the world in an instant
Even though there's a fear of the distance
But for you, I know I'll stay
Right here.

[Pre-Chorus:]
And I can see your darkened eyes (I need to believe in something)
And you are still hiding your smile.

[Chorus:]
Take my dismay
Throw it away
When you reach me
Help find the way
Look out for slopes
Down the telescope
And when you reach me
I'll let you stay.

[Outro:]
I don't want to miss you when you're sailing by
Please tell me you're on the way
I don't want to miss you once I've waved goodbye
So when you reach me, tell me you'll stay.
