When I was a child I saw her everyday.
I never dared to touch her,
Scared to break that spell,
And now the years have passed us by,
And all that could have been is left behind
'Cause I loved her safe from a distance
[Instrumental]
Everyday a million people follow stream
Their faces blank
They talk but do not ever meet
They all have important things to do
They all have things to watch on TV
'Cause they all watch life safe from a distance
They all touch love safe from a distance
But I want it!
When I need it!
Come and touch me!
Come and reach me!
Through the distance...
'Cause we all live life safe from the distance,
But my heart will bleed through all this distance,
And my voice will cry all through the distance.
