Rocket Me Nowhere - The Distance lyrics

Verse 1

The sounds that follow silence

Are tearing down the walls

That kept in our forevers

And held up all our dreams

These crowds that follow faces

That they see in their sleep

Blindly watch the ether

As the music turns to screams

Verse 2

The afterglow is f adding

From the fire in our eyes

That now has spread to boxes

Of better days gone by

I know it all seems crazy

These cobwebs wont recall

Theyre taking up the space

Of something beautiful

Chorus

Youll come far away with me

Only poets count to Three

And when everybody knows

You cry all your tears in rows

Close your eyes and close the book

Let them take a second look

Ink and paper we begin

Scratch out everyone thats in

Verse 3

This is where the answers

Get mixed up in illusions

This is where the sidewalk

Gets dumped into conclusion

This is where the voices

Are turning black and white

The is where the plans end

Follow hope every night

Chorus

Youll come far away with me

Only poets count to Three

And when everybody knows

You cry all your tears in rows

Close your eyes and close the book

Let them take a second look

Ink and paper we begin

Scratch out everyone thats in

(Repeat)
