The Distance

Augustana

Compositor: Dan Layus

I'm sick of stumbling around
If we've got a chance, I think moment is now
I don't wanna stand and stare, breathing stagnant air
Hoping someone reaches out

It doesn't matter if I care
But, that kind of thinking never got me anywhere
As long as we're here, we're free
Just stay close to me, and I'll do anything you ask

And the truth is useless once you've come this far
But, there's no excuse for losing who we are

Way out where the blue sky shines
Somehow we're gonna get there
We'll find out what the world looks like
With nothing to block the view
Right now, I got you by my side
And I know you're gonna stay there
Yeah, we're going for something
I don't know where we're running
But, I'll always go the distance with you

All I want is your respect
That's not the kind of thing you're guaranteed to get
I know what this means to you, for all that we've been through
There's no space between our hearts

Way out where the blue sky shines
Somehow we're gonna get there
We'll find out what the world looks like
With nothing to block the view
Right now, I got you by my side
And I know you're gonna stay there
Yeah, we're going for something
I don't know where we're running
But, I'll always go the distance with you

If you and I could go back in time, and get it right
Through Sun and Moon, I'll follow you, or I'll die trying
I'll die trying

Way out where the blue sky shines
Somehow we're gonna get there
We'll find out what the world looks like
With nothing to block the view
Right now, I got you by my side
And I know you're gonna stay there
Yeah, we're going for something
I don't know where we're running
But, I'll always go the distance with you

I'll go the distance with you
