I'm a million ages past you

A million years behind you too

A thousand miles up in the air

A trillion times I've seen you there



Your hair is golden, mine is grey

You walk on grass, it turns to hay

You blood is blue and mine is red

My body strains, but the nerves are dead



I can't reach you

I've strained my eyes

I can't reach you

I've split my sides

I can't reach

Tryin' to get on you

See, feel or hear from you



The distances grow greater now

You drink champagne and past me plow

You fly your plane right over my head

You're still alive and I'm nearly dead



I can't reach you

With arms outstretched

I can't reach you

I crane my neck

I can't reach

Tryin' to get on you

See, feel or hear from you



Once I caught a glimpse

Of your unguarded, untouched heart

Our fingertips touched and then

My mind tore us apart



I can't reach you

With arms outstretched

I can't reach you

I crane my neck

I can't reach

Tryin' to get on you

See, feel or hear from you



I can't reach you

With arms outstretched

I can't reach you

I crane my neck

I can't reach

Tryin' to get on you

See, feel or hear from you
