the distance between us

"if i waited forever, you'd only just get here" he said it not knowing what it could mean to me but he's only a professor, he doesn't know you any more than i think that i know, but where do you go? when i send all these letters and it doesn't get better you don't know what i'm saying when i'm talking to you you can't see what i mean or what i'm going through i'm just trying to make things right but you're too far away for me to picture you here tonight chorus: the words we can't say and the memories of our summer days and the things I can't explain are slowly slipping away the distance between us is the distance between us you said "we got time, and everything will work out fine" it sounds too easy, but i believe it coming from you I believe almost anything when you're here with me and we don't even have to try but when you go away and it gets so hard i don't know what to believe my head or my heart chorus
