A Distance

You move in waves, there is a distance when you speak
I read the signs, try to decipher the emotions
And look at lines like reading numbers on a screen
It builds inside, a tidal wave that's coming closer every day

It's just a lot to know
It's just a lot to swallow

I've got a lot to say, I've got a lot to share
I've got a lot to say to a disinterested caller
Talking at a distance
Listening at a distance

We stand as if on the inside looking out
We read the signs, making millions of connections
I'm doing just fine - the things I need are getting cheaper every day

It's just a lot to know
It's just a lot to swallow

I've got a lot to say, I've got a lot to share
I've got a lot to say to a disinterested caller
Talking at a distance
Listening at a distance

Synapses firing, we're onto you
We're untangling the wiring, we're onto you
Won't be fooled or deceived again, oh no
