it was the strangest thing today
i saw new footprints in abandoned pathways
beneath forgotten undergrowth something stirring again
you were a single red blood cell
but i lost you in this knot of capillaries
but you were bringing me oxygen when i needed it most in the
smoke.
and you were always
as far as mongolia, as close as my clothes
your presence pervading, but it still never shows
as close as the answer i never quite know, or cant quite remember
your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
your shadow is with me wherever i go
its on the tip of my tongue but still i never quite know, or cant quite remember
i dont quite remember
Verse two is the same as verse one.
the forced proximity of a million different mike leigh movies
makes me long for the fresh air of a familiar face
and not the violence of loneliness, nor the unease of surrounded seclusion
i keep nearly missing you around corners and in passing trains
The chorus is the same, cept the end, where it goes:
your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
your shadow is with me wherever i go
its on the tip of my tongue, it's on the tip of my-
which takes us to the outro!
if id known
if id known
if id known
if id known
if id known
if id known
if id known
x something.
that you werent so far away
that you werent so far away
that you werent so far away
that you were never that far away
x something
i couldve roooooooooooooooooooode
thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain smiling.
It's really hard to place the chords because some words are sung quickly
and some very slowly but you get the idea, hopefully :)
