Distance

Lyrics & Composition: Hikaru Utada
Arrangement: Kei Kawano & Hikaru Utada

I'm curious but can't ask
Exhausted from swimming, even you're silent

I wanna see you, but I'm pushed by waves I can't see
and you get a bit further away again

So it doesn't stop, keep it going, baby
If you don't feel the same, tell me
My rule's to not overdo it
but I can try if it's just a little bit

I wanna be with you now
Together we'll shorten the distance
It's not too late now
We can start over
We can't be one
I wanna be with you now
Someday we'll be able
to embrace the distance too
We can start sooner
In the end, I wanna be with you

One word can hurt you so much
and you teach me loneliness

When you can't protect it, keep on trying, baby
It won't be as promised, but trust me
My rule's to not overdo it
but I can try as long as it's with you

I wanna be with you now
Together we'll gaze at the distance
It's not too late now
We can start over
I wanna tell you with words
I wanna be with you now
Before long we'll be able
to embrace the distance too
We should stay together
In the end, I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you now
Cuz I know this can't be forever
We can start overjust you and me
I wanna be with you now
Cuz I know this can't be forever
We should stay togetherjust you and me
I wanna be with you
