The Distance Between You And Me Lyrics

The Distance Between You And Me

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 Take a rock, tie a rope

 Throw it down in the sea

 Let if fall to the bottom

 Nobody knows how deep

 Stare real hard through the water

 And you might just perceive

 The distance between you and me

 The distance between you and me

 

 Take a map of the world

 And measure with both hands

 All of the miles

 Across all of the land

 Write it down, add it up

 And you might understand

 About the distance between you and me

 The distance between you and me

 

 I lie awake and hear you breathing

 Only inches from me in this bed

 Not much space but it's all that we needed

 To live alone now that our love is dead

 

 Climb the earth's tallest mountain

 To where it reaches the sky

 Take a gun fire a bullet

 Straight up out of sight

 Where it stops in the heaven

 Well that ain't half as high

 As the distance between you and me

 The distance between you and me
