Distances Lyrics

Distances lyrics

by David Crosby







You know what I miss



Small things, like



textures and flavors



How close up everything 



used to feel



Till this distance came



in our lives...distance



came in our lives







It always happens 



when you're trying to 



get next to someone



When you want to reach



their heart.



You cannot get close



enough...to start



Talking.



Talking straight to 



one another.











Do you remember 



The things you used



to write on the dashboard



in the dust?



And the way we never, never 



we never thought



this car would rust







Till this distance



came in our lives.



Distance came in our lives.







It always happens



when you're trying 



to get next to someone



When you want to reach



her heart.



You cannot get close, close,



close enough to start







Talking...talking straight



to one another



Talking and talking and talking



Across these distances



in our lives.



distances in our lives



distances in our lives.
