This is not the way I want it to sound
But it came out like it anyhow
My darling won't you listen to me?

If this pavement could make a sound
It'd say stop right there and turn around
He's found the words but they're hard for him to speak
And sweetie he'll lose his voice, screaming on his knees

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When it pulls in all directions
And these god damn city lights
Won't give me shelter

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When did the road become your answer?
Why does this phone call from LA feel so betrayed
You're afraid, well sweetie I'm sorry I went away

And I'm okay, having you right next to me
Having you stand right beside
Just as you call me your own, I'm your own

And I'm okay, having you just tell the truth
Leave out the words that I choose
Cus they're misplaced but they're not mistaken at all

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When it pulls in all directions
And these god damn city lights
Won't give me shelter

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When did the road become your answer?
Why does this phone call from LA feel so betrayed
You're afraid, well sweetie I'm sorry I went away

And there's a devil of a distance
Between proof and suspicion
When all that you have is your word

And there's a devil of a distance
Between proof and suspicion
When all that you have is your word
Well sweetie, please keep your word

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When it pulls in all directions
And these god damn city lights
Won't give me shelter

Cus I'm jealous of distance
When did the road become your answer?
Why does this phone call from LA feel so betrayed
You're afraid, well sweetie I'm sorry I went away
