[THE DISTANCE]
	LYRICS
Verse 1 The quaking aspens stand outside like anorexic girls / their fingers sprawled as their dresses fall to warm their winter world / She pours two glasses of diet coke and rum / what I've got to say I thought today we'd both be needing some / 'cause a long, long trip is done Chorus It's the distance that your'e feeling; it's the distance you conceal / it's the distance that for far too long you both prayed wasn't real / But tonight, two hearts will break a deal Verse 2 She's going to Umatilla County, going to spend a week or so / Give you time to pack your things, find a place to go / You'd love to hate her; she'd like to hate you too / Though in the end you're less than friends, it's more then you can do / after all that you've been through Chorus It's the distance that she's driving all the way to Pendleton / It's the distance that your heart will fall when the reckoning is done / It's the distance you've been feeling, its the distance you conceal / It's the distance that for far too long you both prayed wasn't real, but tonight / two hearts will break a deal Bridge Now dont tell me to get over it, it was a five photo book relationship / and goddamn, she's still holding the whole soundtrack to my heart / That long high desert drive is a lonely fight / with no one there to tell you it's all right Chorus
