Lyrics
MAINLY DISTANCE
Mainly distance separates these hearts that have loved for so long
Mainly distance keeps the laughs from hearing new ideas that never start
It'd be cool if I knew you
We'd have danced if we could
We'd have laughed harder than we should
I was pleasing yet wild
Younger than a child's fearless smile
Smarter than I'd been for awhile
Your heart calls me
Your heart calls me
Mainly distance pretends to desire when she stabs at regret
Mainly distance debates the thoughts that can't decide
It'd be cool if I knew you
We'd have danced if we could
We'd have laughed harder than we should
I was pleasing yet wild
Younger than a child's fearless smile
Smarter than I'd been for awhile
Your heart calls me
Your heart calls me
