Long Distance Lyrics
Well if this gets ugly
I swear this ain't our last chance
The vultures that circled my head are flying alongside
The world's turning
I let somebody get under my skin
Long distance losing is all that I've seen
Now there's a river
Now there's a river
Nothing can save me
My reserve betrayed me
Here come the hurricanes
I'm burning to get there
The middle of nowhere
Storm warnings flicker while
The world's turning
I let somebody get under my skin
Long distance losing is all that I've seen
Now there's a river
Now there's a river
I swear this ain't our last chance
The vultures that circled my head are flying alongside
The world's turning
Long distance losing is all that I've seen
Now there's a river
Now there's a river
My reserve betrayed me
Here come the hurricanes
I'm burning to get there
The middle of nowhere
Storm warnings flicker while
The world's turning
Long distance losing is all that I've seen
Now there's a river
Now there's a river

This is by far their best song. Fantastic song. I'm guessing the lyrics is about the feeling of losing someone.
This song carries a lot of meaning to me. I don't know what Turin Breaks intended - but I play it every time I need to get my head around the fact that I had an affair with someone living in another country. Playing it over and over again ... the words articulate beautifully how a loser like me feels...and I envy the talent of such songwriters to be able to provoke emotions in this way.
The song is about the moment you open up to someone, letting the person get close to you. The moment you "let somebody get under your skin" is scary and nice at the same time. It can go right and wrong. It's the moment where you reach out and don't know what's going to happen. I think.
