Death Cab for Cutie - Near/Far Lyrics

You flicker like a fluorescent light

An intermittent strobe in a lonely night

As I am standing by your side

Trying to breach this dark and deep divide



You're here

So far away

So near

So far



I hear you talking to yourself

Cursing every card you wanted dealt

I can't help you play your hand

If you mistake every word for a command



You're here

So far away

So near

So far away



You're here

So far away

So near

So far away

Far away



You flicker like a fluorescent light

An intermittent strobe in a lonely night

But I won't watch you burning out

I won't let you be the one I live without



You're here

So far away

So near

So far away



You're here

So far away

So near

So far away

Far away

Far away
