Distance Lyrics
Emily King
Lyrics
Hey love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning
One room just ain't enough
When it's two folks trying to get along
But it's hard to leave you alone
Oh, love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the --
It makes the leaves on the trees fall
It makes the hours in the day long
It makes me want to clear my head
Find a little gap there and write the words to a song
And I know that I'm still free
Be anywhere that I wanna be
Maybe get dressed up
Wear something real pretty that you ain't never seen
Oh, love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the -- grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the --
When you love it makes a heart
When you trust it makes a heart
When you call it makes a heart
We're alone, we're apart
In the middle of a fight
Walk away to make it right
Where we go, we're never far
In the light or in the dark
On a plane up in the stars
In a movie or at the bar
Home alone or out to (tea?)
Look to your heart and think of me
I wanna love you, don't want to try
To change the pace of your life
We get together, we make it good
Get together, ooh
Hey love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning
