I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between

all of the moments that we will be.
You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,

well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one.


Sometimes I need you naked,
sometimes I need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in

and I need you to kill a child.

You know who I am...


If you should ever track me down
I will surrender there

and I will leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair.


You know who I am...

I cannot follow you, my love,

you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be.


You know who I am...
