The Districts - Long Distance

Talking through a tin can
I can see her face in the sun with her eyes closed
Staring outside now
Watch the dreams as they slide
Round here on the stone, towed me from the ground
The water seeps below
Fits right in my arms
I see her smile

Just lay out in the sun and watch the dreams
As this light reaches her hair
Dead leaves and dirty soil
Smeared between her fingers

Ain't it strange
To be alive at all
Oh, no, no
Being scared
Spins with my mind
And fills me up
Let me feel you one more time

Ain't it strange
To be alive at all
Oh, no, no
Being scared
Well I thought that sound
Would fill me up
Til I'm dirt in the ground

Long distance
Slow time
Is it easier?
Aching fears crawl up my mind
Long distance
Reach around and pull away my spine
If it'll make me feel alright

Talking through a tin can
I can hear the voices around my head
Ain't it a shame we all become the things
We never wanted to see at all

Gimme a minute to control myself
A minute ‘till you're back down to where you are
Cause I just wanna come down, oh
And I just wanna get down, oh
I wanna see what this face really means to me
And even the walls, they mock me
They're the deepest blue of all

Ain't it strange
To be alive all
Oh, no, no
Being scared
Spins with my mind
And fills me up
Let me feel you one more time

Ain't it strange
To be alive at all
Oh, no, no
Being scared
Well I thought that sound
Would fill me up
Til I'm dirt in the ground

Long distance
Slow time
Is it easier?
Aching fears crawl up my mind
Long distance
Reach around and pull away my spine
If it'll make me feel alright

Long distance
Slow time
Is it easier?
Aching fears crawl up my mind
Long distance
Reach around and pull away my spine
If it'll make you feel alright

Long distance
Slow time
Is it easier?
Aching fears crawl up my mind
Long distance
Reach around and pull away my spine
If it'll make me feel alright
