[Verse 1]
I'm a billion ages past you
A million years behind you, too
A thousand miles up in the air
A trillion times, I've seen you there

[Verse 2]
Your hair is gold and mine is grey
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
My body strains, but the nerves are dead

[Chorus]
I can't reach you, I strain my eyes
I can't reach you, I split my sides
I can't reach, trying to get on you
See, feel, or hear from you

[Verse 3]
The distances grow greater, now
You drink champagne and past me, plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're so alive and I'm nearly dead

[Chorus]
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach, trying to get on you
See, feel, or hear from you
[Bridge]
Once I caught a glimpse
Of your unguarded, untouched heart
Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart

[Chorus]
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach, trying to get on you
See, feel, or hear from you

[Chorus/Outro]
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach, trying to get on you
See, feel, or hear from you
