[Verse 1]
You've been pushing my bu*tons
Oh I love you, but I have to go away
I tell you something
We better listen to the things that mother said
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together
Keeps us together
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling the fear but I know
I've got to hold on to the line
I tell ya, oh it gets easier with time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together
Helps us to measure
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've got to cut loose the chains
You see you're looking ahead
You know it's good for your health
And I want you to say it yourself
[Chorus]
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
Won't you hear me now
I know you hear me now
[Verse 3]
Father
I hate to see you fade into the black
And yes I love you
But I think it's time for me to change my tracks
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together, helps us to measure
The distance between us, keeps us together
Keeps us together
[Bridge]
But I've got to cut loose the chains
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
Won't you hear me now
I know you hear me now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've got to cut loose the chains
You see you're looking ahead
You know it's good for your health
And I want you to say it yourself
[Outro]
Oh oh, oh, oooh
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
Won't you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I've got to cut loose the chains
