Maximo Park Distance Makes Lyrics

Distance Makes Lyrics

Distance makes the heart dissolve

Like little pills cloud water

Dissolving inch by inch

Separating a fraction further



You helped to shape this space

We'd gaze at dancers

The view it fluctuates



Flattened bodies blown on the floor

Within a rectangle of cool green lines

We watched them in the wall

We breath beside each other



The stars, our landmarks

And we don't use them

The stars, our landmarks

You can't swing from them



I wish this was an endurance test

But there are no limits

I sent a letter to my own address

While you lived in it



You used to drink from that glass

Decorated in Scandinavia

You nearly ironed me out

And now I've changed my behavior



This morning I saw a blue metal star

I was on tiptoes high above the back yard

Competing with the real thing

It ends up dominating



The stars, our landmarks

And we don't use them

The stars, our landmarks

You can't swing from them



Everyone's got their own idea

Of Utopia and why we're here



The stars, our landmarks

And we don't use them

The stars, our landmarks

You can't swing from them

The stars, our landmarks

They have no function
