lyrics

Justin-

This distance between you and me
Maybe if every body of water was empty
Then I could walk to you
But I'm no Jesus
This silence in the air around us
Maybe if gravity didn't surround us
Then I could float to you
But I'm no angel

Did I ever tell you
Everything I wanted to tell you
Before I went away
Now I've forgotten what to say
Did I ever show you
If every day I could hold you
I'd never want to go away
But I'm not allowed to stay
I'm not allowed to say

This cold winter night
Maybe if I had telescopic sight
Then I could find you through the snow
But I'm just a blind girl
These torn pieces of my heart
Maybe if I was a surgeon I could fix it part by part
Then I could love again
But I'm just a lost girl
