there is no space 

in the millimeter between me and you 

and the light turns suddenly blue 


in the millimeter between you and me 

I can see 

a snapshot of an orange childhood 


and you told me, come, come close 

look at the sun setting into the sea 

and you told me come, come close 

the millimeter between them both 

holds all of the dreams in the world 


in the kilometer between me and you 

no flowers bloom 

and a cold white light fills the room 


a speedometer with broken arms 

cannot supply 

the numbers that I need to fly 


and you told me, come, come close 

look at the sun setting into the sea 

and you told me come, come close 

the millimeter between them both 

holds all of the dreams in the world 


in the millimeter between pen and page 

nothing's new 

the same old soul I've had for years 

I give to you 


the millimeter 'bove the brow 

cannot hide 

the vast and hollow space 

inside
