-- Outro Same as Intro for Guitars 1 & 2 And that's it. Lyrics: Verse 1: Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us, open up as lonely as the space between the stars. I wish that I could find a way, to smash my fists right through these walls, Of ugliness and emptiness and gently touch your face. Chorus: But every time I touch you, you feel so far away. And every time that you need me, I feel so far away. Verse 2: As you lay silently beside me, choking back your tears, I wonder if you recognize silence now defines us. Desperately I try to fight this overwhelming sense that I May never find the strength to change how hopeless We've become. Chorus: And every time that I touch you, you feel so far away. And every time that you need me, I feel so far away! Yeah I feel so far away. I feel so far... Bridge: I need to find a way to break this silence... I need to find a way to break this silence... I need to find a way to break this silence, that's between us, So I scream your name. I scream your name. Chorus: But every time I touch you, you feel so far away. And every time that you need me, I feel so far away. And every time you reach out, you feel me pull away. And every time I touch you, I touch you, I touch you... Yeah, you feel so far away.
