Jealous of distance

This is not the way i
want it to sound
but it came out like this
any how
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 loose his voice
screaming on his knees

Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when it pulls in all
directions
and these god damn city
lights won't give me
shelter
Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when did the road
become your answer
and 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 me
just as you call
me your own

And i'm okay having you
just tell the truth
leave out the words
that i choose
cause they're misplaced
but they're not
mistaken at all

Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when it pulls in all
directions
and these god damn city
lights won't give me
shelter
Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when did the road
become your answer
and 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
well sweetie please
keep your word

Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when it pulls in all
directions
and these god damn city
lights won't give me
shelter
Cause i'm jealous
of distance
when did the road
become your answer
and why does this phone
call from LA
feel so betrayed You're afraid
well sweetie
i'm sorry i went away...
