lyrics

Walking along 8th and 54th I realize I can't take much for granted anymore
How we got here, well I'll tell you a story but I'm not sure you'll listen 'cause it's rather long and boring
Usually I wear my heart on my sleeve and right now well my sleeve is really bursting at the seams
Because the man that I see when I look in the mirror is different than the man I see when I'm looking at pictures
Because the man in the picture is posing for the moment, the man in the mirror has no time for such enjoyment

Why must I be so distant from everything?
When everything is so near, guess it's only proximity
When everything's around where can the truth be found?

The gas station clerk continues to sell beer to a man that is giving off a smell
And never does she stop to wonder how it is the man got to be this way and how he really lives
But actually they're both one in the same, they both go through the same routine day after day
The clerk she goes home and cares for family while the man, well he sleeps alone in a drunken misery
But they both late at night when they finally get to bed, dream of people and places they'd rather be instead singing,

Why must I be so distant from everything?
When everything is so near, guess it's only proximity
When everyone's around where can the love be found?

A young mother holds her young three year old
Although the girl can walk the mother's scared to let her go
For good reason you know, see she is on her own
Everyone she knows and loves comes from a broken home
The small town of West, two miles wide and flat, just struck by a tragedy that put it on the map
But the people unite, they lost houses and lives
Stand strong as one and sing throughout the whole night singing,

Why must we be so distant from everything?
When everything's so far, just look up and see the stars
When nothing's around, love can still be found!
