I hear you crying and I know
What it's like to be alone 
You're scared and I'm not there 
It's like you're living with a ghost 
Someone you can't hold 
And you say it's so unfair

And just so you know 
The distance is what's killing me 
Time and space have become the enemy 
And what I need is so far away 
And so it goes 
The distance makes it hard to breathe 
My heart won't let go easily 
I don't want to be this far away

I'm lying by myself 
The silence seems to swell 
Someday this all will change 
It's a temporary pain 
See your face and speak your name
Till then I'll scream into the night

And just so you know 
The distance is what's killing me 
Time and space have become the enemy 
And what I need is so far away 
And so it goes 
The distance makes it hard to breathe 
My heart won't let go easily 
I don't want to be this far away 
Well I've got my life 
And you've got my world tonight 
And I miss you (I miss you), 
I miss you (I miss you)

And just so you know (killing me) 
The distance is what's killing me (time and space) 
Time and space have become the enemy (enemy) 
And what I need is so far away 
And so it goes (hard to breathe) 
The distance makes it hard to breathe (won't let go) 
My heart won't let go easily (easily) 
I don't want to be this far away
