Lyrics

so beautiful. i just can't put it into words
China
all the way to New York
i can feel the distance
getting close
you're right next to me
but i needed an airplane
i can feel the distance
as you breathe
sometimes
i think you want me to touch you
how can i
when you built the Great Wall around you
in your eyes
i saw a future together
you just look away
in the distance
China
decorates a table
funny how the cracks don't
seem to show
pour the wine dear
you say you take a holiday
but we can never agree on
where to go
sometimes
i think you want me to touch you
how can i
when you built the Great Wall around you
in your eyes
i saw a future together
you just look away
in the distance
China all the way to New York
maybe you got lost in
Mexico
you're right next to me
i think you can hear me
funny how the distance
learns to grow
sometimes
you want me to touch you
how can i
when you built the Great Wall around you
i can feel the distance
i can feel the distance
i can feel the distance
getting close
