Distances Lyrics

I'll stitch balloons to your eyelids
So you have to look me in the eyes
I will picture a smile on your face
So you still look happy to see me
Don't worry, I'll find anchors for you
To let your eyes sink into sleep
I should turn and face the night
Walking towards my own strength
As it leaves me

Your eyelashes block out the light
Like the clouds starve the earth tonight
She wrote a speech to tell the truth
And all that was written was "I love you"

How can't I worry about anything that has been said or done?
'cause I'll keep on searching all of the oceans, for you to come back home

And so I lie, and catch the sun in my hands
Just to put the light back into our eyes
And tears glisten as we hold our future
So delicate and fragile, this all seems
Well I've busy catching the stars
Safe in my arms, I give them to you

And into the distance, I set sail
To find myself in an attempt to save us
If love is the dialogue between mind and soul
Then I must be heartlessly losing control

How can't I worry about anything that has been said or done?
'cause I'll keep on searching all of the oceans, for you to come back home
How can't I worry about anything that has been said or done?
'cause I'll keep on searching all of the oceans, for you to come back home

I keep asking why, answered by an echo
I see their smiles and I blame myself
My stomach tightens, anxiety persists
But they retain a conscience for breaking hearts

How can't I worry about anything that has been said or done?
'cause I'll keep on searching all of the oceans, for you to come back home
How can't I worry about anything that has been said or done?
'cause I'll keep on searching all of the oceans, for you to come back home
