I found out not a moment too late The times that you said what you meant We can fade to a close, choose a descent 'tween our hearts and the start of the line And I find as I add up these long days Without you Distance equals loss, plus time. Absence, and I've gone farther Absence, and I've gone farther Absence, and I've gone too far. Feelings inside of us, facts and figures Two hearts divided by irrational states The best of our moments obscured by the clouds As the heat of our love Meets the rain of our hate I found out not a moment too late
The times when you said what you meant If forsaken abandoned to fate Six days and one One week now gone One more to come Six days and one One week now gone One more to come Up another staircase, up another flight Reach for the railing, angle toward the door Escalator, stairway, board another flight One last realization I love you still more It's hard to adhere to the changes in distance 'tween our hearts and the start of the line And I find as I add up these days Without you Distance equals loss, plus time.
