Take a rock tie a rope
  Throw it down in the sea
  Let it fall to the bottom
  Nobody knows how deep
  Stare real hard through the water
  And you might just perceive
  The distance between you and me
  The distance between you and me
    Take a map of the world
  And measure with your hand
  All of the miles
  Across all of the land
  Write it down add it up
  And you might understand
  About the distance between you and me
  The distance between you and me
    I lie awake and hear you breathing
  Only inches from me in this bed
  Not much space but it's all that we needed
  To live alone now that our love is dead
    I lie awake and hear you breathing
  Only inches from me in this bed
  Not much space but it's all that we needed
  To live alone now that our love is dead
    Climb the Earth's tallest mountain
  To where it reaches the sky
  Take a gun fire a bullet
  Straight up out of sight
  Where it stops in the heaven
  Well that ain't half as high
  As the distance between you and me
  The distance between you and me
