Prompt / Lyrics
Photographs on a computer screen What’s it all supposed to mean? Witty phrases and romantic quips Deleted keystrokes left unseen It all adds up to the distance to you Scrolling through pages of endless faces One shot deals in so many places Practice runs to find a match Hanging your head from ample disgraces Unaware of the distance to you The farther you are from me The harder you are to see Stronger still my desires grow To reach out on a limb with my plea To whittle down the distance to you Studying the words of poetic lines Earning a phone call to hear a voice Weighing the experience of a companion Trying to inform a final choice The closer you are to me The stronger my feelings grow The longer you are near me My defenses start to go In hope of erasing the distance to you Is it all just an excuse To avoid a second try? Is it all about the truth Or spinning one short lie? Are the menu options all that matter? Thinking this through just makes me sadder Is there ever “a first to be the last”? I’ve had enough of this emotional platter I’m running now to cover the distance to you But I wait on your call Wondering if it ever comes at all In deeper sadness I start to fall A feckless, dramatic voodoo doll The closer you are to me The deeper my feelings grow The longer you are near me My defenses start to go Cutting down the distance to you The closer you are to me The more that I want to be The stronger my feelings grow The longer you are near me I can shorten the distance to you Breaking down the distance to you
