and all this distance can't
match my persistance, no
and if it's in my hands
there's no way we're through
i've never tried so hard
or wanted it so bad
it's why i'm dying to get to you

remember nights we spent
barely an inch between us
we could not care less
about who could have seen us
the only thing that beats
sleeping by your side
is waking up to watch you
open up your eyes

right now i can't quite think about
one place i'd like to be without you
by my side
right now i hope you'd rather be
nowhere except sitting with me
up all night

there's something in the weight
of all these words surround us
that makes us not care less
if the world went on without us
nothing up their sleeves
could ever break my hold
we're living out the greatest
story ever told

and all this distance can't
but slow us down, my love
and if you fall, i swear
i'd pick you right back up
i've never poured so much
into a a song of truth
it's cause i'm dying to get to you
