CHINA all the way to New York
I can feel the distance
getting close
you’re right next to me
but I need an airplane
I can feel the DISTANCE
as you breathe

sometimes I think you want me to touch you
how can I
when you build a great WALL around you
in your eyes
I saw a future together
you just look away
in the distance

china decorates our table
funny how the CRACKS don’t
seem to show
pour the wine dear
you say we’ll take a holiday
but we never can agree on
where to go

sometimes I think you want me
to touch you
how can I when you build
that great wall around you
in your eyes
I saw a future together
you just look away
in the distance

China all the way to New York
maybe you got lost in MEXICO
you’re right next to me
I think that you can hear me
funny how the distance
learns to grow

sometimes I think
you want me to touch you
how can I when you build
a great WALL around you

I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance getting close
