A Love Affair With Distance Lyrics
I've lost my voice, I've said all I have to say.
You're thick as porcelain as clear as cellophane.
I miss the nervous shakes, I miss the way it hurt,
The way it killed to think that I had you first.
So then I force a smile, and take the stage
and now my knees are week, I try to concentrate.
I'm losing air with every single breath that I take.
I look into your eyes and see the chemicals,
they're the whitest white, you've become a ghost.
you're dead to me so why can't i let you go?
The phone is like a knife I drive into my ear,
I had a love affair with distance and fear.
The bus is like a hearse driving me from her,
she's the blackest white, she's the perfect curse.
And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie,
you could come down on me.
And if you save my life, how could i survive?
When you're the one that made me this way...
You're thick as porcelain as clear as cellophane.
I miss the nervous shakes, I miss the way it hurt,
The way it killed to think that I had you first.
and now my knees are week, I try to concentrate.
I'm losing air with every single breath that I take.
I look into your eyes and see the chemicals,
they're the whitest white, you've become a ghost.
you're dead to me so why can't i let you go?
I had a love affair with distance and fear.
The bus is like a hearse driving me from her,
she's the blackest white, she's the perfect curse.
you could come down on me.
And if you save my life, how could i survive?
When you're the one that made me this way...

i love the line that says 'and if the walls had eyes, we would never lie'
it's great
ausum song. but i am not sure about the message/moral. any ideas???
does anyone know where i can download this song? i don't have an iTunes account so i can only stream 30 seconds of it
Nope. sorry no idea but i REALLY want to hear ;the boat' but i cant download that either and i cannot find the CD in any stores! ok onto this song: i think it is really good! i like the 'i miss the nervous shakes/i miss the way it hurt' bit. as to what i think its about: i think its about someone who ran away from there problems maybe? the ' the bus is like a hearse/ driving me from her' bit makes it sound like hes going to die without her? (figuratively, of course)
