Distance Lyrics by Jake Bateman

Chapter V (Deluxe Reissue)

2017

[Intro]
Only distance can take you away from me
Distance can take you away
Only distance can take you away from me
Distance can take you away
Only distance can take you away
Only distance can take you away
Only distance can take you away
Only distance can take you away

[Spoken]
You're gone

[Verse 1]
It's been two weeks since last i checked
The shaking hands and losing bets
It's been raining like the world is on fire
I don't know what to call home
The place I'm from or the one I've grown to know
And all i want is sleep
But even in my dreams this thing is bothering me

[Pre-Chorus]
My mouth is at loss of words
I never thought that this would hurt
When i try to get away
It's the same damn thing the very next day

[Chorus]
I can see it's the distance that's killing me
I can not watch you leave
Because i am aware of the distance that's swallowing me

[Spoken]
You're gone

[Verse 2]
I'd tell you the time
But I'd rather not spare the fact that I'm ignorant
Shallow, oblivious
My dresser holds the time for you (for you)
Give me a hammer or something of sorts
To take to the hourglass
Cutting the time way too short
I knew this would come

[Pre-Chorus]
When i try to get away
It's the same damn thing the very next day

[Chorus]
I can see it's the distance that's killing me
I can not watch you bleed
Because i am aware of the distance that's swallowing me

[Outro]
You're dead
