The Distance

Built it from the ground up, this is our legacy
Now it's going to shine for everyone to see
We've been hurt far too long to care about the rest
Believe in me when I say that this is for the best

My actions say what words can't show, I've been here all along
Don't be afraid, for I will catch you, flaws and all.
Give me a sign, I just know I'm so crazy,
And it tears me apart to see you never changing.
This place is my home, and I'm so tired of leaving
I'm right where I belong, and I'm finally seeing

A fire lies within this heart, and now you know it can't be stopped
This is our latest song, we're righting all our wrongs.
I aspire, and desire to be greater than the ones before me,
And I'll make you see.

I have a hand worth holding onto, this can't be done on my own
Take a chance, risk it all, just to see who I can be for you
You're not the only one who's worried, these tides are the test to us all
And I swear, I can carry you, carry you over them all.

Day by day, I'll take this as it comes
And if there's a way, I can stay, I could give you the world today
So nevermind the space between, I'll care for you if you let me
I will fight for you, if you'll allow me to.

There might be a time when I'm away,
But I swear to you, faithful I will stay
We might just be, just be something, that you can't believe.
That you would take me for someone who gave you nothing, except for everything.
(We might just be, just be something, that you can't believe.
That you would take me for someone who gave you nothing, except for everything.)

I'd like to take a moment, to just sit down and say,
That I'll always care about you, till there's not a breath left in me
It's been a long time comin', but I'm finally gonna let you know
That I won't be gone forever, I'll find my way back home.
