lyrics

On the beach at night
Write it down, you said
Distance is real, distance is real

When I left my country
I hated myself
Distance is real, distance is real

I am happier now on the planet we share
No more starving expanses
Or starless somewheres

From inside of the dome
With my feet in the sand
I can see you at home
Watching television

How incessant the ocean
Assuages my unease
Distance is real, distance is real

I am farther from you
Than I wanted to be
Distance is real, distance is real

Gravitational waves are a measure of how
We are coming and going
Hold on to me now

From inside of the dome
With my palms to the sky
I am sinking so slowly
It’s making me high

I will always love you
I will always love you
Hold that tremolo
So bombastic and true

I will always love you
I will always love you
Oh, she sang it so fine
Ever amaranthine
