Something like four thousand miles...
in case you didn't know that's quite the separation.
I'm talking oceans between us.
I'm talking, you're asleep, that's how far away.
Something like eight hours on an airplane...
in case you don't know your legs would go numb.
I'm talking four bags of peanuts and two inflight movies.
I'm talking in my sleep, to you, who's wide awake.
Something like first class mail takes over a week...
in case you don't know I sent your birthday gift three weeks in advance.
I'm talking we're not even on the same calendar day.
I'm talking, but you won't hear it until tomorrow.
Something like my moon is your sun...
in case you didn't know I cried to sleep as you cried over coffee.
I'm talking extreme distances and great lengths of time.
I'm talking to a cellular 30 second delay.
Something like all these things should break me down...
In case you didn't know love can span any distance.
I'm talking fuck the lines of long and lat.
I'm talking time can kiss my ass.
