THE DISTANCE LYRICS

1. The Setup

It's what I search for in my self
It's the understanding that
In my head it's all made up
I lie in bed and think about
Every last word and everything
I could have done to save us now

I think of your embrace
how everything was fine those times
but when your world comes crashing down
That's when I wont be around
To catch your fall
And everything was your call
So it's not my fault you've been let down
(so many times before)

Why do I realize when your part of me died
That it's all a big mistake
I wish I could've change myself
Be the man you want me to be
But it's all to late
Did you ever think about me

It's been a year since we last talked
And guess who's not over it at all
I guess I'll just have to tell myself that it's for the best
Even if I don't believe it

[Written By J. Reason / S. Goodman / K. Gioia / The Distance]

2. Inspired By You

On my own again
I find myself looking for things
That aren't even there
All the times we tried to work it out some how
We couldn't get it right it's all a waste of time and

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I'll never get you back, I'm still not good for you

So there's nothing left to doubt
Pick my head up off the ground
Did I hear you so you're broken
You're Broken hearted
So I'll let you shut me out
Now nothing can stop me now
Did I hear you say you're broken
You're Broken hearted

looking deep inside striving to survive
I have to find a way to make it out OK but

From my stereo to your heart
I can only play the sad part
and this song will never end

From my stereo to your heart
You can only hear the sad part
and this song will never end
This song is never ending

[Written By J. Reason / S. Dail / M. Hyde / The Distance]

3. Life At The Crossroads

Beat Beat Repeat

I hear your heart beating what secrets does it keep
You know your voice can only hide so much
sixteen hours straight
and I'm heading home to you
now the clock is winding down and out

I feel your arms reaching or are you even there
you can only hold on for so long
Two years we've held on
I know that's what you'll say to me
And you've had enough and now you're gone

How long will we play these games together
Why do we always have to lose it all
So many songs for the broken hearted
So many words to say but none for me

You can not stop the pain my heart knows it grows (on and on)
You can't stop the way this fear grows it goes (on and on)
You can not calm the storm in my soul it blows (on and on)

So many words to waste but none for me

[Written By J. Reason / M. Hyde / The Distance]

4. Phase Two Is About To Be Implemented

Now it's time for me to write again
While seasons changed it's always stayed the same
So many times I fucking felt this pain
Goodbye so long it's what they'll always say

Set yourself up for the downfall
Looking back at the worst times
All the small things you could have done
Faith is all I have inside

Everything you loved you burned
All the times you wish you'd change
What you'd give to do again
When everything you love you burn

Comes down to this your screaming
Comes down to this your kicking

5. Let It Rain

So here we are the two of us
I don't know if I'll be the same
holding back even though It's too late
And did you think, this time
I would stay and take the blame
But I've become, so meek
But I'm not that weak

Just let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain and wash away
I'll be over you
I'm over you
I'm over you I've walked away
Let it rain, Just let it rain

Coming from, the ones you love
Every word it hurts so much
But this time, it's not so bad
It's so far gone
Feeling like, myself again
I'm ready to move on my friends
But this time, it's not so bad
It's so far gone

I'm not invincible
But I know I'll make it through
I believe it's true
I'm so far over you

[Written By J. Reason / S. Goodman / K. Gioia / The Distance]

6. At Least I'm Good At Something

Can't you tell by now I've had it
And all the things I said I meant it
When Everything I had I gave it

it's been all night, thinking of how I phase this out
it's been so long, since a light attack on my heart
I find it hard to talk when you're watching me
Think before it comes out , comes out all wrong

Wishing on tomorrow
Wishing on the days that never came
Staying with a love that felt so toxic
Staying cause it only felt so right
Can't you tell by now I've had it
And all the things I said I meant it
When Everything I had I gave it

Gasping for another second, try and plan this out
When everything I say is stupid
You find it hard to cry when I'm watching you
Think before it comes out , comes out all wrong

Wishing on tomorrow
Wishing on the days that never came
Staying with a love that felt so toxic
Staying cause it only felt so right
Can't you tell by now I've had it
And all the things I said I meant it
When Everything I had I gave it
Can't you tell by now I've had it
With all those things I said I meant it
When Everything I had I gave it

7. Just For A Couple Hours

We owe each other more than memories
It's been so hard since you've been gone
Is this my life without you
I know you've heard about all them
I've tried so hard to fill your void
Found myself sleeping in others beds
I've talked to them like lovers do

For all you know I been alone
though the stories don't say so
One more time here we go
For all you know I been alone

Still it's been a while
Since I've seen your smile
It's so much harder to say that I'm sorry

For all you know I been alone
though the stories don't say so
One more time here we go
Through all the pain my scars still show
For all I know you been alone
though the stories don't say so
One more time here we go
For all you know I been alone

I am the king of my own failure
When I say I hate you I really mean
I wish that you'd come back

[Written By J. Reason / S. Goodman / K. Gioia / The Distance]

8. Broken Promises

For all the times I hurt you
I guess we're even now
I never thought you'd get the best of me
But there is always a first time and never a last
Who needs another song about lost love?
I think I've had enough
I'll make the choice for both of us

I'll keep my peace of mind each time I realize
Broken promise, broken lives
This piece of me survives
This is the best thing that's happened so far
Broken promise, broken lives
I walk away each time

For all the words I wasted
I guess we're even now
Lost causes never made me want to go
But you shut me out, turned away said goodbye
So fuck you and I'm gone
It wasn't even worth the time I lost

I Rise even though I've fallen
No More thoughts of breaking down
Who needs another song about lost love
I Keep my peace of mind each time I realize

[Written By J. Reason / P. Wasilewski / The Distance]

9. Before It's Gone

Hide from me dear love, it's time to shut you out
It's the silence that divides me, From everything I've known
This is how the story goes
We met, We loved and now it's over
Acceptance is a word that I never understood

These Moments that we share, everything so perfect
So lets dance like we've never danced before
'Cause it feels so right
And I don't care who sees what we've got

There was a time when I thought that you would come back
So caught up in myself I saw it all go down
its stories like these that make the best songs
So lets sing it loud
failure is a word that I wish I never knew

Dear strangers I'll just pretend
to avoid all the questions then
You'll find that it was all revenge

These Moments that we share, everything so perfect
So lets dance like we've never danced before
Cause it feels so right
It's almost like I've never known you
It's almost like I've made you up
It's in my head, written out, So stare at me and I will say
And I don't care who sees what we've got
So lets scream it loud

10. The Stage Between

So I guess I've known it all along
Since you said your last words that this was the end
You said you had nothing left to say
Did you ever think that maybe there was more to this?

What is left after all the songs are gone
Just words and memories and stories of the past few years
What is left after all the songs are gone
Sound of sorrow haunts me 'cause it's what my life's become

Being in the same place from last year
Makes it that much harder for me to hear about you
So with this I push the fears aside
While inside I fall apart it's the show that must go on

I know you're not that strong
But it's time to move along
Where on this road I'll follow
Which is far from right or wrong
The glitter of our days
Have passed and gone away
